The City's Master Fee Schedule is a compilation of the fees charged for services and development with the City of Lincoln. All fees are reviewed from time to time in order to ensure that the fees charged do not exceed the estimated costs required to produce the services and that all fees are in compliance with the California Government code Sections 66016 and 66018.

Master Fee Schedule

The City uses a Master Fee Schedule to establish fees for a variety of services. The City completed a comprehensive study in December 2019 to identify the cost of providing various user and regulatory fee-related services. Minor updates including adjustments equal to the annual average increase in CPI-U (Consumer Price Index All Urban Consumers Index San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward) were completed in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. More recently, the City approved changes to the City of Lincoln Master Fee Schedule for User and Regulatory Fees. These changes include adjustments equal to the annual average increase in CPI-U of 3.67%. This was approved by the City Council of the City of Lincoln on November 12, 2024. The updated Master Fee Schedule (link can be accessed above) is effective as of January 12, 2025.
