1. Preliminary review and will serve letter fees are due to Thurston County Development Services upon application.

2. Plan checks that require more than 2.5 hours will be billed at the hourly rate of $104 per hour.

3. The number of vacuum pits is determined by the number of residential units. Inspectors will charge an hourly rate for vacuum pit inspections. For example, it's estimated that it will take 30 minutes to inspect a vacuum pit. Therefore, 18 vacuum pits at 30 minutes per inspection results in nine hours of inspection. At $74 per hour for nine hours, the total vacuum pit inspection fee will be $667.

4. Final review and processing fees are due when final plat is requested by the applicant.
