FEE SCHEDULE
Approved 1.13.2026
Introduction
In March 1987, the Brooklyn Center City Council approved an amendment to the City Ordinances that
removed the fees for licenses and permits from the City Ordinances and established fees by Council
resolution. The resolutions establishing fees for licenses and permits were collated into the following fee
schedule, and it is updated whenever fees are amended, or new fees are established. It provides a means
by which fees for permits, licenses, and miscellaneous services are incorporated into one document to aid
employees who need to collect fees or provide public information regarding fees. Fees for licenses and
permits are set forth by Council resolution. Fees for copies, research projects, maps, and ordinances are
generally set by the City Manager.
Fees relating to the Community Center can be obtained directly from the Recreation Department and
are not included in this fee schedule.
Fees relating to the Centerbrook Golf Course can be obtained directly from the Centerbrook Golf
Course and are not included in this fee schedule.
Fees relating to the Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center can be obtained directly from the Heritage
Center and are not included in this fee schedule.
