Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Kittitas County, WA - 11/23/2015 - The Community Developement Services updated its fees and was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on November 17, 2015. The new fee structure will go into effect January 4, 2016.
The new fees were proposed to the Commissioners earlier in the year after an in-depth "cost of services" analysis was completed by a private firm in Tacoma which specializes in public finance and municipal fees. The study was intended to determine the actual cost in providing service to a customer seeking building or land use permits from County Community Development Services. After the completion of the study, a public hearing to consider the proposed fee changes was conducted on November 3rd, and the Commissioners signed resolution to change fees on the 17th. The fee model and tables will become available to the public on the Department's webpage in December, allowing the public to see how fees will be determined and to estimate the cost of obtaining a permit for a new building.
