PRESS RELEASE
At the March 25, 2019 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 2019-37, adopting a Consolidated Fee Schedule for the Engineering Services Department and Department of Planning & Economic Opportunity for review of applications filed pursuant to the Land Development Code and/or Nassau County Code of Laws and Ordinances.
 
The Resolution was adopted following a Comprehensive Fee Study which concluded that a fee adjustment was necessary to offset costs associated with staff hours required for review, inspections, meetings, and any other action required for review of applications to ensure the action is consistent with the County’s Land Development Code, and to properly assess the applicants so that costs are not born by general revenue.
 
Attached is the revised fee schedule adopted by Resolution No. 2019-37, referenced as “Exhibit A”. The new fees shall become effective June 24, 2019. Recommendations for fee structure modification, including updates to existing fees and/or proposals of any new fees, will be reviewed annually.
 
If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Planning & Economic Opportunity at (904) 530-6300 or email planninginfo@nassaucountyfl.com.
