What “medium” means, and what this fee rests on

High: We read this straight from the document that sets the fee: the city's ordinance, the council resolution, or the official fee schedule. This is the strongest kind of source, because the number and the rule come from the agency that charges it, in its own words.
Medium: We read this from an official document, but not the one that sets the fee. It might be a staff report, a study the fee was based on, or another agency's summary of it. These are usually right, but they can lag behind a change or describe a fee differently from the document that sets it. We also use medium when the agency's own documents disagree with each other.
Low: We could not find this in a current official document. It may come from an older version of the schedule, a secondary source, or from how the agency appears to apply the fee in practice. Treat it as a lead and check with the agency before relying on it.
Derived: Not read from a document at all. Filled in from the type of fee, such as which law authorizes it. Shown separately so it is never mistaken for a quotation.

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
