Are there any fees for processing utility permits?
Yes. Currently there is an application fee ($30.00) plus a charge for each foot of construction ($0.05 per foot underground and $0.01 per foot for overhead facilities). Please note that the per foot fees are charged only for the footage constructed within the County Right-of-way. There is also an additional fee charged if a pavement cut is involved ($ 125.00 per cut). Please note that all fees are Doubled if work is begun without first obtaining the required permit. Note that Telecommunications are not subject to permit fees as of October 2001, but now pay special fees through the State. However, they are still required to pull permits.
