The City has previously updated permit fees on a two-year cycle to align with the budget
cycle and reflect the cost of service. Staff is suggesting that permit fees increase at 8.5%
in 2023 and 7% in 2024 to reflect the City's increased labor and benefit costs due to a
rapid rise in inflation.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

FROM: Nora Gierloff, DCD Director

Max Baker, Development Supervisor
Kerry Murdock, Development Review Engineer
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: September 26, 2022, Revised November 7, 2022
SUBJECT: Consolidated Permit Fee Resolution for 2023-2024
ISSUE
Should Tukwila increase its land use, infrastructure, and development permit fees to reflect the
increased costs to provide development review services?
BACKGROUND
The City has previously updated permit fees on a two-year cycle to align with the budget cycle
and reflect the cost of service. Most permits have an additional 5% technology fee that pays for
our permit software. Some permits have additional fees such as hearing examiner services for
review of Type 3 permits. This fee is collected with the land use application and passed through
to the applicant. Credit card payments are now processed by Cardknox so the City no longer
collects a 3% convenience fee, the surcharge is collected directly from applicants by Cardknox.
Some permits incur additional costs for Fire Department review. Resolution 1967 adopted fees
charged by the Fire Department which are in addition to the fees listed in Attachment A. In
preparation for the move to a contractual arrangement for Fire services with the Puget Sound
Regional Fire Authority staff recommends aligning our fee structure with other jurisdictions
served by the Authority. Fire Department staff will be presenting those recommendations for a
new fee structure in a separate resolution.
DISCUSSION
Overall
Staff is suggesting that permit fees increase at 8.5% in 2023 and 7% in 2024 to reflect the City's
increased labor and benefit costs due to a rapid rise in inflation. The CPI -W was 9.5% for the
June 2022 period and additional cost increases are anticipated to affect costs for equipment,
vehicles, supplies, etc. Additionally, staff is suggesting that hourly inspection fees and after
hours inspections should be increased from $106.50 per hour to $117 in order to recover staff
costs associated with inspections. Also, the 5% technology fee collected to provide for online
permitting software upgrade/maintenance and converting paper records to digital records
should be maintained.

Development Permits Building/Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical
Permits in this category are based on the value of the construction covered by the permit. This
permit value is developed by the International Code Council and updated twice a year. High
cost areas, such as the Puget Sound Region, apply a modifier to this nationwide index.
Tukwila has a special $20 permit fee for residential remodels up to a value of $20,000. The
intent was to remove a barrier to permitting for homeowners making modest improvements to
their houses or repairing storm damage. This can help to ensure that construction is done safely
and in accordance with building codes. In 2021 the City issued 167 permits using the reduced
residential remodel fee. If we had charged according to the standard fee schedule we would
have collected an additional $24,280. If the Council is looking for ways to increase cost recovery
for permitting they could delete this lower rate.
Based on the Committee of the Whole discussion of this issue at the October 24th meeting and
the fact that the fee has not changed since its introduction in 2014 staff is suggesting that it be
increased to $45. This would have generated $7,515 in revenue in 2021 verses the $3,625
under the current fee. The fee would still be a significant reduction from the standard cost for
these permits, continuing to meet the goal of reducing barriers to permit applications for small
scale projects.
Issued Res. Remodel Fee Actual Fee Difference
Development 16 $ 431 $ 7,304 $ 6,872
Electrical 102 $ 2,171 $ 10,812 $ 8,641
Mechanical 35 $ 725 $ 7,842 $ 7,117
Plumbing 14 $ 298 $ 1,948 1,650
Total 167 $ 3,625 $ 27,906 $ 24,280
Infrastructure/ROW Permits
TMC Chapter 11.08 covering permitting within the City's Right -of -Way has been going through
an internal review and rewrite over the past year. The new title, with revised permit types, will
be presented to Council this fall. This fee resolution assumes the passage of an updated
ordinance for Chapter 11.08 and reflects the new permit categories.
Our present Public Works fee schedule, effective 1/1/21 Resolution No. 2012 was structured to
incorporate permit fees for 6 different types of rights-of-way permits (A — F). Type A - (Short -
Term Non-profit), Type B (Short -Term Profit), Type C (Infrastructure and Grading on Private
Property and City Right -of -Way and Disturbance of City Right -of -Way), Type D (Long -Term),
Type E (Potential Disturbance of City Right -of -Way), and Type F (Blanket Permits) not to be
confused with Franchise permits that are issued for utilities that have an existing or expired
franchise agreement with the city.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
Proposed updates to Title 11.08 Permits (Right -of -Way) look to consolidate the permit subtypes
into two categories — Right -of -Way Use Permit (ROWUP), and an Annual Activities Blanket
Permit (AABP). The (ROWUP) would be required for both franchise holders and non -franchise
holders performing any kind of work in the right-of-way. The (AABP) may be issued to franchise
holders on an annual basis to undertake blanket activities as defined by the updated Title
11.08. Consolidating the number of permit types will reduce confusion among applicants and
staff members and streamline the way permit fees are assessed leading to a more equitable fee
structure.
Permit fees for the two types of proposed right-of-way permits; ROWUP & AABP will still be
based on 4 prior components assessed under the current Type C Public Works permit for
construction value: 1) plan review, 2) construction Inspection, 3) pavement mitigation, and 4)
grading review as applicable with a base application fee. The current base application fee is
$254.00. Staff recommends that the base application fee be increased to align with
comparable and surrounding municipalities, keep up with the cost of living, and provide service
that meets industry demand. Historically, franchise holders have not been assessed permit fees
when applying for right-of-way permits. This fee would be independent of the initial
application fee that is assessed for a new franchise application or to renew an existing one that
expired. This would be a new source of revenue for the city and would align with surrounding
jurisdictions. To reiterate, an existing or newly granted franchise agreement holder applying for
a ROWUP would be charged a base application fee and the 4 components of construction value
that is determined and assessed under the city's existing Public Works Bulletin A2 Fee Estimate
Worksheet that is required upon submittal for right-of-way permits.

In addition to the overall inflation adjustment staff has reviewed the fees charged by
neighboring jurisdictions and finds that some of Tukwila's fees are well below market rates, see
Attachment B. Staff suggests adjusting the following permit fees to better reflect the cost of the
labor of the multiple reviewers involved in the approval of these permits.
