COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City of Anaheim
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JUNE 23, 2026
FROM: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS FEE SCHEDULE FOR FY 2026/27
ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 24-J
GOVERNMENT CODE § 84308 APPLIES: NO
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by Resolution, authorize the adjustment of various service and permit fees to be charged by the Department of Public Works (Department).
DISCUSSION:
The fee schedule details the service and permit fees being recommended for an increase by the Department. It provides for an equitable distribution of costs and ensures that those receiving services will not pay more than the actual cost of the services provided.
For FY 2026/27, it is recommended to increase service and permit fees by 3% for the purpose of keeping pace with increases in the Consumer Price Index, as well as the labor costs of providing services. Some Service Fee Deposits are proposed to increase by more than 3% in order to align with actual costs and better serve customers. The department has also created two new fees: 1) a Licensed Surveyor fee, for services provided by a Licensed Surveyor, and 2) a Survey Plan Checking fee, for plan checking services provided by a surveyor. These fees will allow for full cost recovery for the services provided.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
These changes will increase General Fund revenues by approximately $106,000 and have been included in the Public Works Proposed FY 2026/27 budget.
Respectfully submitted,
Rudy Emami
Director of Public Works
