Administrative Fees

Permit Application Fees: Vary by category and are due upon approval. While a permit may be placed on hold pending payment, this does not guarantee the permit indefinitely. Payment must be received to secure and finalize the permit. Applications with unpaid fees may be cancelled and the permit released to other applicants. Permit application fees are listed in the 2025-26 Rental Fees document.

Other Administrative Fees:

  • Permit Alteration Fee: $40 – for additions to approved permits
  • AV Tech Booking Fee: $50 per permit
  • No-Show Fee: $55 + any unsubsidized rental/custodial costs
  • Late Cancellation Fee: $25 – if less than 3 days’ notice provided
