Council removes dated year from consolidated fee schedule language, instructs staff to reference current ICC data

Jul 16, 2026

To avoid an outdated fixed year in the building‑permit fee schedule the council approved replacing the 2021 reference with 'current ICC building valuation data' and recording a multiplier of 1; staff will provide a clearer public exhibit and contact point for residents to calculate expected fees.

The full story

Council discussed revisions to the consolidated fee schedule language that currently references ICC building valuation data with a fixed year (2021). Rob (building official) demonstrated how the city’s billing program reads ICC valuation tables and told council that the ICC data updates regularly; several councilmembers and the city attorney said the public should be able to reasonably determine expected fees. The attorney suggested replacing the dated year with language referencing the 'current ICC building valuation data' and making the multiplier explicit (council adopted multiplier '1').
