On April 9th of this year the City of Tucson Mayor and Council gave notice of intention to revise development rates and fees for Planning and Development Services (PDSD) customers. PDSD conducted outreach to development stakeholders and the community to gather feedback regarding the proposed fee increase.
Additionally PDSD will be adjusting the valuation tables. Staff have been reviewing updating to the latest ICC Valuation Tables in conjunction with the proposed fee increase. The department has chosen to phase in these adjustments over a three-year period aiming to align with the latest ICC Valuation Table by 2027. These changes are made at the discretion of the Director without requiring approval from Mayor or Council.
Development impact fees are not included in this increase.
These fee adjustments will enable PDSD to make significant progress in its commitment to improving the development process in Tucson ensuring better support for community needs.
