About each permit
Conditional Use Permit / Variance / Site Plan Review
$600.00 is the current figure in the February 2, 2026 Current Fee Schedule. Its Planning/Engineering Division(s) Development Review Fee Schedule prices a conditional use permit at $600.00, a variance or exception at $600.00, a zone change at $750.00, a site plan at $600.00 up to 20,000 square feet rising to $1,200.00 from 20,001 to 43,560 and $2,000.00 above that, a preliminary plat at $1,000.00, a final plat or re-plat at $1,200.00 for 25 lots or fewer, a minor boundary adjustment at $200.00, a right-of-way vacation at $400.00, an annexation at $1,000.00 (other fees such as plat or zone change may also apply), a planned unit development initial review at $2,300.00 and amendment at $1,000.00, zoning research at $50.00 per hour, and a city-owned property license or lease application at $250.00, with Old Yellowstone District architectural design review free and county clerk recording fees included in the application fees. After-the-fact applications may be assessed double the initial fee. Every one of these figures is identical to what Resolution No. 17-220 set in 2018 — the schedule's substance has not moved in almost eight years, only its cover date. One entry in the City's own table reads oddly and is quoted rather than corrected: the final plat or re-plat row for '26 lots or less' is priced higher, at $1,800.00, than the '25 lots or less' row at $1,200.00, which on its face looks like it should read '26 lots or more'; the wording is reported here exactly as printed.
Sign Permit (required; no published fee line)
No fee is published for a sign permit. The permit is required — Chapter 17.96 governs sign permitting and §17.96.020(A) lists the signs exempt from both the permit and the fee, which confirms a fee exists for non-exempt signs — but the City publishes no dollar figure for it. The February 2, 2026 Current Fee Schedule's four pages contain a Combined Building, Electrical, Plumbing and Mechanical Permit Fee Schedule and a Planning/Engineering Division(s) Development Review Fee Schedule, and neither carries a line titled 'sign' or 'signage.' The City's own Commercial Building Permit Checklist states that projects with 'plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and/or signage components will need to be permitted separately from the Building Permit' with their 'Valuations … included … for the plan review process,' which shows signage is treated as a valued, permitted scope of work alongside the other trades — but the checklist stops short of saying signs are billed on the same Combined table, whose own title omits signs where it names the other three trades. Resolution 17-220 likewise had no sign line, and an older archived document titled 'Fee Schedule_sign permit.pdf' from 2016 is superseded and its figures are not recorded. A business should ask the Planning Division on (307) 235-8241 whether a sign permit is priced from the Combined valuation table or some other schedule.
