Frequently Asked Questions

+ - What is a professional chargeback fee?

For some types of development reviews, the Town charges the applicant for the time spent by the town engineer, attorney, planner, or other professional in reviewing their application. In that way, Town taxpayers aren't paying for the cost of development activities. Invoices are mailed to the applicant as the Town incurs such costs. Additional information is found in Section 2-2 and 2-3 of the municipal code. Get details.

+ - If I submit an application and it is not approved, can I get my application fee back?

Application fees are not refundable. They are intended to cover the costs necessary to review the application.

+ - What is a determination of completeness?

When we receive a development application, staff will review the materials to make sure the application submittal is complete and ready for formal review. If an application submittal is not complete, staff will notify the applicant and describe the parts that are not complete.

A determination that an application is complete means the application is ready for formal review and does not suggest the applicant has provided sufficient information in all regards or preclude the reviewing authority from requesting additional information it deems appropriate.
