TOWN OF LOS GATOS FEE SCHEDULE
The following Fee Schedule is effective July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, 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. 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.
