A national reference for municipal fees.

Local governments publish fee schedules in their own formats and on their own update cycles. We organize those documents into a comparable record while retaining the language, source, and timing behind each fee.

Every county, incorporated city, and town, plus townships in the twelve states whose law makes them general-purpose governments. 30,527 governments.

From local documents to a national record

A common structure for fees that begin in different forms.

Municipal fee schedules are written for the staff who administer them. They use local department names, prior resolutions, different units, and different update cycles.

FeeRegistry organizes those differences without replacing the source language. The agency’s wording, document, page, and effective date stay with the standardized record.

What the record contains

The schedule remains visible inside the structured record.

Standard fields make comparison possible. Source fields make the comparison reviewable.

How the record works

Scope, coverage, and currency stay separate.

01

Source-backed entries

A jurisdiction enters the usable record through the documents that establish its fees. Every figure remains traceable to its source.

02

Visible coverage

Coverage is reported by jurisdiction and by stage, so a user can see what the registry holds before building a comparison.

03

Current schedules

Sources are checked for replacement and the record identifies the schedule in force, so a comparison does not quietly rely on an old snapshot.

Read the verification standard

Every figure remains connected to the document that set it.

How the record is used

One source record, three municipal workflows.

The reference record supports fee comparisons and cost-of-service studies that need evidence a reviewer can follow. It also gives agencies a current starting point for their own annual fee work.

FeeFoundry uses the record to establish the full cost of service for a city’s own activities. FeeMatrix carries that city’s schedule through department review, adoption by resolution, and publication.
