Some fees are known by more than one name. For example, the Residential Construction Tax is sometimes known as the "Bedroom Tax" because it is based on the number of bedroom units created. Fee names used here are taken from department fee schedules, or City resolutions.
The Responsible Agency/Department is the agency which is financially responsible for the fee, meaning that it sets the fee rates and ultimately receives the funds. Fees are not necessarily paid directly to the responsible agency.
Many projects require interaction with more than one City agency. For example, to obtain a revocable permit, application to both Planning and Development Engineering / Finance is required. These are separate processes and appear as two individual fees on these lists.
