City Fees

The City of Asheville maintains a program of user fees in many departments in order to offset the cost of providing services to the public. User fees are a common means to relieve the property tax burden while maintaining essential and valuable services. User fees are generally charged for public services that are not used by all citizens, which allows those services to be paid for by those that need and utilize them. The city analyzes these fees annually, and an updated schedule is considered by Asheville City Council during its budget process (typically between March and June).
