DPD Fee Update

On March 1, 2010, the Seattle City Council approved 
Ordinance 11607, which does the following:

  • Increases fees for STFI permits
  • Fees paid for land use pre-application conferences would no longer be applied to the subsequent application
  • Recording fees will reflect King County recording rates 

The changes took effect on April 7, 2010.

Full News Story | Ordinance 11607

 

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.
