Fee Schedule
Department of City Planning zoning and development review fees are calculated based on the total construction value of the proposed development. Fees totaling over $15,000. are split into two payments: 40% will be assessed at the time of application and the remaining 60% due prior to issuing the permit. Refer to the 2023 Fee Restructuring FAQ(PDF, 133KB) for additional information.
Fees can be paid online via the OneStop portal with a credit card or eCheck, or in person at the OneStopPGH Counter at 412 Blvd of the Allies with a credit card, physical check, money order, or cashier’s check. Please note that we cannot accept payment via mail, nor can we accept cash under any circumstances. Physical checks, money orders, and cashier’s checks must be made out to “Treasurer - City of Pittsburgh.” Please also note that all credit card and eCheck transactions will generate a small processing fee.
PLI and DOMI fees may also apply. Please consult the PLI Fees webpage and DOMI Applicant Guidance webpage for additional information.
