City Reminds Community of New Planning and Building Fees Beginning July 1, 2025
The City of Garden Grove reminds residents and applicants that the updated schedule of planning and building fees will take effect on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. All permit applications submitted on or after this date will be subject to the new fees.
The fee adjustments are based on a User and Regulatory Fee Study, which found that the City’s General Fund has been subsidizing approximately $1.7 million annually to support planning and building services. The updated fees are intended to better align service costs with service users, rather than relying on the City’s General Fund. This is the first fee adjustment since 2016.
The updated fee schedule is available online and includes a comparison of current and new rates.
