Or what is the difference in cost for building permits for projects above and below the $500,000 threshold? Or maybe what the fee is for construction or demolition work involving blasting?
If you’re in Kennewick, wonder no more.
City officials have published a full master fee schedule on their website that details every fee, fine, rate and other costs for city services. Recently approved by the Kennewick City Council, the document aims to provide transparency and a standardized means for residents and business owners to assess potential costs.
The city will continually update the document. Officials said some fees and charges that are included in the city’s municipal code but not yet in the master fee schedule remain valid.
The master fee schedule is available to be viewed online or downloaded.
