Abstract:
Regulatory fees are fees charged by local governments for the regulatory services they provide, such as issuing building permits, reviewing subdivision plans, or performing building inspections. The general purpose of these fees is to recover some or all of the costs associated with regulatory services. This bulletin examines the constitutionality of imposing on nonresidents higher regulatory fees than those imposed on residents.
