Notes:

References to the existing Publication Fee, Refundable Zoning Sign Deposit and Recording Fee are deleted from the Chart above and are included below. These existing fees [a], [b], and [c], are added to the fees above, where applicable. The intent is to include these existing fees with the fees above, where applicable, to make payment easier. In addition, the Notification Fee, which historically has been mailed to the applicant after the total number of required mailings has been determined, has been added as a lump sum to allow applicants to pay all fees upfront. Staff performed a study on the average number of notices sent per zoning case, and determined the average Notification Fee to be $20.00. Therefore, the current reference to a .50 Notification Fee per mailed notification is deleted.

[a] Includes mandatory publication and mailed notification required for owners whose property is within 200 feet of the proposed action.

[b] Includes $20 Zoning Sign Deposit (refundable upon sign's return)

[c] Includes the City fee only. An additional recording fee in the amount published by the Smith County Clerk must also be paid.

[d] The Outdoor Transient Vendor permit fee shall not be required for a Non-Profit.

Non Profit - An organization or entity formed for the purpose of serving a purpose of public or mutual benefit other than the pursuit or accumulation of profits, i.e., 501(c)(3)s, schools, religious organizations, governmental organizations. Proof of non
profit status is required. All other entities/individuals will be charged the regular rate.

[e] Late submittal convenience fee equals 50% of total application fee added to application fee.
