SB 1268 - Under current law, a county may collect a fee, not to exceed $3, for a special use permit. This act allows the fees to be based upon all cost reasonably incurred by the county in managing the public right-of-way. The act also allows the permit fee to be based upon, when appropriate, an allocation among all users of the public-right-way. The fee shall reflect the proportionate costs imposed on the county by each of the various types of uses of the public rights-of-way. Nothing shall prevent a county from imposing different or new fees on public utility right-of-way users so long as the fee is consistent with federal and state law. The fees must also be imposed on a nondiscriminatory basis.
