Building & Development Fees
Building and Development fees are approved annually through the adoption of the City of Madera Master Fee Schedule. The intent of each fee is to collect a portion of the total cost of each activity. Fees in the following categories are generally applied to building and development projects in the City.
- Development Incentive Programs
Newly proposed incentive programs offer significant reductions in permit and processing fees in three separate categories: the development and redevelopment of properties in downtown Madera; the remodel and renovation of older buildings and buildings that have experienced long vacancies anywhere in the City; and building projects that will be used in conjunction with tax exempt, non-profit operations, with each of the three programs providing for reductions between 50% and 100% in land use permit fees, building permit fees, and public facility engineering fees for qualifying projects.
