User Fee Study

Activities that provide a community-wide benefit, such as Police Patrol and Fire Suppression are typically supported by taxes. However, if a service provided by a government agency benefits primarily an individual rather than the entire commmunity, those activities are supported by a user fee.

  • User fees are charged by almost any city or county department. MGT's cutting edge software and clear approach enable a simple and thorough analysis of the cost of government services.
  • The MGTuser fee software gives local government the tools to review subsidy levels and forecast revenue impacts of fee changes. The greatest opportunity to recover general fund revenue through user fees usually lies in development services for planning, building, engineering and fire review services.
  • Utilizing a MGT cost allocation plan will ensure that your fees cover the true cost of providing services.
