Gilbert, Ariz. – The Gilbert Town Council approved a notice of intent to consider updating Development Services fees.  This proposed update aims to better align the Town of Gilbert’s fees with those of nearby cities while ensuring the Town’s costs are met.  

A recent analysis conducted by LRB Public Finance (formerly Lewis Young Robertson & Burningham Inc.), revealed that the Town’s current fees are much lower than comparative communities and didn’t include a tier structure that addresses higher valuations.  

The proposed fees would impact the following services: 

• Planning and Development Fees and Charges 

• Building Permit and Plan Review Fees 

• Applied Misc. Building Fees 

• Sign Permit Fees 

• Engineering Fees 

• Certificate of Construction Quantities 

• Fire Permit and Plan Review Fees  

• Business License Fees  

• Other Fees 

The Gilbert Town Council will hold a public hearing and vote on the proposed fee update during their meeting on May 20 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Gilbert Town Hall Council Chambers located at 50 E Civic Center Drive. You may also watch a live stream at gilbertaz.gov/GilbertLive.
