On May 27, 2026, Town Council adopted an updated Master Fee Schedule. The Planning & Building Department's fees go into effect on August 1, 2026. All Planning & Building permits and applicable work will utilize the new fee schedule moving forward. The new Master Fee Schedule can be found on the Town's website here: https://www.portolavalley.net/departments/town-finance/master-fee-schedule
The updated fee schedule was informed by a Comprehensive User Fee study that was conducted by Matrix Consulting Group in partnership with Town staff. This study included in-depth analysis of the cost-of-service relationships among fees for the Town's services. Additional information from the May 27, 2026 Town Council meeting can be found in the Minutes, Agendas, and Recordings section of the Town Council webpage.
