Estimate fees in a record

You can calculate an estimate of costs payable to the agency by partially completing a record. If you save your settings, you can search for the partial record later so that you can work with it again. To help identify partial application records with estimated fees, Civic Platform includes the designation “EST” in the record name.

To estimate fees

1. Create a new record. See Create a new record for more information.

2. Select Estimate fee.

   Note: If you selected the Create one record for each parcel option on the record type dialog, Civic Platform disables the Estimate fee and Manual input ALT IDbuttons.

3. Do one of the following:

   • To add a fee item:

     1. Select Add.

     2. Enter the quantity of each fee item that you want to add.

     3. To restore the default quantities and clear the note boxes, select Reset.

     4. Select Submit.

   • To edit a fee item:

     1. Select the Fee Item link for the item that you want to change.

     2. Make changes as needed.

     3. Select Submit.

   • To delete a fee item:

     1. Select the item that you want to delete.

     2. Select Delete.

   • To edit a related condition:

     1. Select the name of the condition that you want to edit.

     2. Make changes as needed.

     3. Select Submit.

4. When you finish viewing the estimated fees, select Cancel.

   Note: Because the fees are only an estimate, you do not need to save them.

5. Select Save without submit.

   Note: Civic Platform saves the partially completed application to be submitted at a later time.
