HomeMy WebLinkAboutOtter Tail County 2025 Fee Schedule - 1-2-2025Objective Local governments have broad authority to implement various user fees that
reasonably cover the costs of operations. This document is intended to publish the
list of fees established by Otter Tail County. A fee is a voluntarily incurred
governmental charge in exchange for a benefit conferred on the payer and is
intended to reasonably approximate the payer's fair share of the costs incurred by
the government in providing the benefit.
Policy Statement On an annual basis, Otter Tail County will review, update, approve and publish a
list of fees established by each Division and Department that comprises Otter Tail
County.
Scope In the State of Minnesota, there exists six major sources of state and local
government revenue used to fund delivery of publicly funded services: · property
taxes, individual income taxes, general sales taxes, federal aid, charges and fees,
and other non-tax revenue. For calendar year 2015, it is projected that
Minnesota’s local units of government (not including school districts) will assess up
to $1.8 billion in special assessments, licenses, permits and service charges
representing 10-15% of overall revenues to fund annual budgets.

to, the following: MS115A.929 (Waste Management); MS245A (Human Services
Licensing); MS245C.10 (Human Services Background Studies); MS326B.153
(Building Permit Fees); MS357 (Fees); MS390.15 (Coroner, Medical Examiner);
MS393.12 (Fees for Social Services); MS462 (Planning, Zoning); MS629.65
