NOTICE OF INTENT TO INCREASE EXISTING AND CREATE NEW FEES FOR BUILDING PERMITS, PLAN REVIEWS AND RELATED SERVICES
The Huachuca City Town Council will consider implementing a new schedule of fees for building permits and related services at its meeting on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 6:00 pm, at Town Hall located at 500 N. Gonzales Blvd, Huachuca City, Arizona. The proposed fee schedule is attached to this notice and posted on the homepage of the Town’s website: https://huachucacityaz.gov/
Reasons for considering these increased and new fees:
Pursuant to A.R.S. 9-467, the Town is authorized to require building permits and to charge applicants to recover the reasonable costs associated with reviewing plans and issuing permits. Since the Huachuca City Building Department fees have not been amended in 10+ years, a review of the fees was requested to ensure that the Town was attempting to recover all of its costs for providing the required services. After a review of the area jurisdictions, it was determined that the basic fee chart is in line with the other jurisdictions; however, it needed to be simplified. The proposed chart provides for precise fees at all incremental valuations, with negligible changes to the overall fees. Also, to simplify the fee schedule, several flat rates are being proposed. These fees will not be dependent upon valuation, but simply on the work to be completed.
Several new fees are also being introduced on the proposed schedule. The current fee schedule does not provide for these fees, so the Town has not been able to recover its costs associated with the work noted.
These proposed Building Department fees will be considered by the Huachuca City Council on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 6:00 pm, at Town Hall, located at 500 N. Gonzales Blvd, Huachuca City, Arizona.
If approved, these changes will go into effect on January 1, 2026.
Additional information concerning this proposal is also available on the homepage of the Town’s website. Any questions concerning the proposed fee schedule should be addressed to the Town Building Official, Dr. Jim Johnson, at: jjohnson@huachucacityaz.gov or (520) 456-1354.
