Home MenuPlanning and Zoning Application Fees
Fees and cash escrows are payable by cash or check to the "City of Plymouth" at the time an application is submitted. The city will not begin processing an application until all required fees/escrows are provided. The city will not consider refunding fees unless the applicant submits a written request for withdrawal of the application prior to its submission to the Planning Commission. Additional consideration for refunds will include the amount of staff time expended.

1 Signage Fee: Additional fee of $165 for a development sign on one street frontage, plus $50 per sign for each additional street frontage (refer to Zoning Ordinance Section 21022).
2 Notice of Development Sign Fee: A non-residential use within 500 lineal feet of any residential property requires an additional fee of $165 for a development sign on one street frontage, plus $50 per sign for each additional street frontage.
3 Cash Escrows: When multiple applications that require a cash escrow are applied for at the same time, the city collects one cash escrow in the amount of the largest escrow required for the overall proposal (e.g., a proposal that includes both a comprehensive plan amendment and a PUD general plan would require one cash escrow in the amount of $2,000). Costs of city time and materials expended in reviewing and processing an application will be charged against a cash escrow account and credited to the city. If, at any time, a required cash escrow account is depleted to less than 10% of its original amount, the applicant shall deposit additional funds in the cash escrow account as determined by the city. Any balance remaining in a cash escrow account upon completion of the review process will be returned to the applicant after all claims and charges thereto have been deducted.
4 Variance Fees: For applications involving multiple variances, a separate application fee is required for each code or section from which the applicant is requesting variances: zoning ordinance, subdivision code, shoreland management overlay district, wetlands district or floodplain overlay district. Contact Planning staff to determine fees for a specific application.
5 Project Type: Major Project applies to residential sites (except 1- & 2-family developments), and to non-residential sites located within 200 feet of residential property (refer to Section 21045.05). Minor Project applies to non-residential sites located at least 200 feet from residential property (refer to Section 21045.04).
