On January 1, 2010, the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) adjusted its service fees. 

DPD uses the most recent building valuation data (BVD) published by the International Code Council (ICC) as a base upon which to create a Seattle BVD table, found this year in Director's Rule (DR) 1-2010. This year, the BVD table has changed, and fee increases are between (-)0.42 - 1.66 percent.
