Permit Fee Increases Take Effect Oct. 1, 2024

New fee schedule 

Starting October 1, 2024, San Francisco Public Works implemented modest fee increases for certain public right-of-way permits.

Permit fees had not changed in over a decade—aside from routine adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The updated fees are based on a cost recovery model and supported by an independent user fee study. This ensures sustainable funding for essential services.

We took a careful, targeted approach to these adjustments to help minimize the impact on small businesses.
