Design Review Application Fees
Fees are required to review the design and site planning of a wide variety of construction projects and exterior alterations. Design Review fees are generally based on the size or type of project and whether any variances or a floor area exception may be required.

Other Planning Fees
Other Planning, Zoning, or Subdivision permit applications are usually reviewed and acted upon by the Planning Commission or by Planning Division Staff. Many such applications require an initial fee deposit rather than a flat fee. Additional fees (beyond the initial deposit amount) may be required to completely process the application, or a partial refund may be issued, depending on the cost to the Town of processing the application. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Planning Division for a complete description of these fees. The Town’s
