Public hearings held virtually have proven effective in allowing greater public access, eliminating the burden of physical travel, and maintaining public safety. Accordingly, this public hearing will not be held in person.

This rulemaking adopts a 17% fee increase for funding of a new Conveyance Management System (CMS). The fee increase is divided into two, 8.5% fee increases, effective January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024. The fees include licensing, permits, inspections, and other services for conveyances. The fee increase is necessary to fund a new CMS. The CMS is the database used to provide permitting, inspection, and other information. Our current system is aging, failing, and no longer meets the service needs of customers or staff. The new CMS is expected to go-live in January 2024.
