Fee schedule

Sign Permit FeeGenuinely unpublished after an exhaustive re-chase on 2026-07-20: (1) re-downloaded the standalone 'Application for Sign Permit' fillable PDF directly — confirmed it has an 'Approved/Denied, City Use Only' block but prints no fee amount anywhere on the single page; (2) re-downloaded the general 'Residential-Commercial Application for Building Permit' (amended 02-09-2026) and confirmed 'Sign' is its own checkbox under Class of Work, separate from 'Alteration/Remodel' and 'Accessory Structure' — the form's two published non-refundable deposit tiers ($150 for single-/two-family dwellings, $100 for additions/alterations/repairs/accessory structures) do not name Sign as falling under either tier, so no deposit figure can be honestly attributed to it; (3) checked Kimberly City Code §13.08.300 (Permit and Inspection Fees) directly — that section covers sewer main/lateral and private sewage disposal permits only, unrelated to signs; (4) searched for the City's Title 17 Chapter 17.09 (Sign Regulations) code text directly via codelibrary.amlegal.com, which returned only an empty/redirected shell page, not the chapter's substantive text, so a fee reference within the sign chapter itself (if any) could not be confirmed or ruled out. No fee figure is invented; this remains a genuine, actively-rechased gap, not an unexamined placeholder.

    Tips

    • A Special Use Permit may be required for certain signs depending on the zoning district — this is determined at application review, per Idaho Code 67-6512 conditional-use provisions referenced on the City's Applications/Permits page.
    • Both a scaled drawing of the sign itself and a scaled site plan of the property (showing structures, streets, utilities, easements, and setbacks) must be attached to the application.
