Drainage Plan Review Fees
Under the city's drainage fee ordinance, developers deposit escrow funds so that an independent third party can review the drainage plans for development projects inside the city limits. Fees also apply to Clearing, Grubbing and Earthwork Permits and to the review of single-family lot drainage and grading plans required by a plat.
