TOWN OF LOS GATOS FEE SCHEDULE
The following Fee Schedule is effective July 1, 2026 unless updated by the Town Council. The
Fee Schedule will be adjusted annually by the average Consumer Price Index (Bureau of Labor
Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose Metropolitan
Statistical Area) for the calendar year and/or by the percentage increase in actual operating
costs for the current year —whichever is greater. For FY 2026-2027, the fees are adjusted by
2.2% CPI. This Fee Schedule also provides for minimum annual adjustments for those fees that
are directly related to personnel costs. Other adjustments may be made to maintain
consistency with the surrounding municipalities within the Town of Los Gatos region but in no
case are fees charged in excess of service delivery costs.
