• Plan review fees
These fees are dependent on type of project you’re proposing, and will be due after the first plan review is performed. They will be calculated upon review.
• Sewer capacity reserve fees
New connections (including existing connections with a change of use) represent an increase in demand for wastewater treatment services. This fee, required by DSRSD Code, is to purchase the ability to have wastewater for your project treated by DSRSD. It is collected at time of permit issuance if there is no new water meter with your project; otherwise it is collected at time of setting the water meter.
• Water capacity reserve fees
New connections represent an increase in demand for water distribution services. The DSRSD Code requires that this demand be assessed in the form of a capacity reserve fee (formerly known as a connection fee) payable to DSRSD within 30 days prior to setting a new water meter.
• Zone 7 Water Agency fees
Zone 7 is DSRSD’s water wholesaler; the District buys water from the agency to deliver to customers. Per agreement, DSRSD collects Zone 7’s water capacity reserve fees for the agency. These fees are collected within 30 days prior to setting of water meter.
• Inspection fees
These fees pay for our construction inspectors to provide inspections for your project. They are paid prior to permit issuance. This fee varies depending on your scope of work.
• Miscellaneous fees
Depending on the scope of your project, other fees (such as additional plan review, site specific recycled water fees, or others) may arise and Permitting staff will inform you of what they could potentially be.
• How do I pay these fees?
Engineering fees shall be assessed and payable through the Citizen Self Service Portal after you have applied for a permit. Instructions for payment will be within the portal.
