    Additional refund information

    Refunds for fees collected by the Development Services Department and not in the fee ordinance are refunded at the direction of the appropriate director or specific ordinance. 

    Current examples are:

    • Issaquah or Renton School District - refunded if project not constructed
    • Transportation Impact Fee - refunded if project not constructed

    No refund less that $10.00 (combined from departments) will be processed, as authorized by the appropriate director. No balance due on a cancelled application or permit less than $10.00 (combined from all departments) will be collected. 

    Before any refund is released to the applicant, the following will be deducted from the refund amount:

    • All fees or charges owed on the subject application or permit
    • All fees or charges owed on any associated application or permit
    • All monthly billed fees owed more than 60 days
    • Any fees or charges that have been assigned to a collection agency. This specifically means that if an applicant has money due back on one project but owes fees for more than 60 days on a different project, we will use the refund to pay those fees. The purpose is to mitigate the potential loss to the city. 

    Any fee paid erroneously paid is 100% refundable.
