The Novato City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 6pm at Novato City Hall, 901 Sherman Avenue, to review and consider an update to the Master Fee Schedule. This update includes administrative and maintenance revision to fees within the Building, Planning, Public Works, Sustainability and Finance divisions. These amendments align fees with current 2024 staff hourly rates and simplify fee structures for greater clarity and accessibility for residents, businesses, and developers.
