GARFIELD COUNTY
BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT
FEE SCHEDULE
Garfield County, pursuant to Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) Resolution No.
98-09, has established a fee structure (“Base Fee”) for the processing of each type of
subdivision and land use applications.
The Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff time devoted to
an application, multiplied by an hourly rate for the personnel involved. The Board
recognized that the subdivision and land use application processing time will vary and
that an applicant should pay for the total cost of the review which may require
additional billing. Hourly rates based on the hourly salary, and fringe benefits costs of
the respective positions combined with an hourly overhead cost for the office will be
used to establish the actual cost of County staff time devoted to the review of a
particular project.
Actual staff time spent will be charged against the Base Fee. After the Base Fee has
been expended, the applicant will be billed based on actual staff hours accrued. Any
billing shall be paid in full prior to final consideration of any land use permit, zoning
amendment or subdivision plan. If an applicant has previously failed to pay application
fees as required, no new or additional applications will be accepted for processing until
the outstanding fees are paid.
Checks, including the appropriate Base Fee set forth below, must be submitted with
each land use application, and made payable to the Garfield County Treasurer.
Applications will not be accepted without the required application fee. Base Fees are
non-refundable in full, unless a written request for withdraw from the applicant is
submitted prior the initial review of the application materials.
Applications must include a Payment Agreement Form (“Agreement”) set forth below.
The Agreement establishes the applicant as being responsible for payment of all costs
associated with processing the application. The Agreement must be signed by the
party responsible for payment and submitted with the application in order for it to be
accepted.
The following Base Fees shall be received by the County at the time of submittal of
any procedural application to which such fees relate. Such Base Fees shall be in
addition to and exclusive of any cost for publication or cost of consulting service
determined necessary by the Board for the consideration of any application or
additional County staff time or expense not covered by the Base Fee, which have not
otherwise been paid by the applicant to the County prior to final action upon the
application tendered to the County.
