City Fees and Charges:
These can include all kinds of different things. Some examples are:
- Utility service fees - This is often the largest fee revenue for a city
with utility services. Customers pay for the water, sewer, storm water
and garbage service they use (if you city offers or bills for these
services). Sometimes these are offered through a private company or a
neighboring city.
- Park and recreation fees - Many cities have added fees for various park
department services. The most common are classes, swimming pool fees,
special facility use fees and others.
- Planning and Engineering fees - The planning and engineering functions of
the city charge applicants for development to review the plans and advise on
such things as the requirements for making the planned improvements. A
permit fee is very common in most cities.
