AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS,
TEXAS, AMENDING APPENDIX A, "FEE SCHEDULE," SECTION
A3.002, "DEVELOPMENT AND GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND
PLANNING PERMIT FEES," OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE
CITY OF PARIS; MAKING OTHER FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS
RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE, A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, AND A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND DECLARING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Appendix A of the City of Paris Code of Ordinances provides a fee
schedule for city permits and services, including those related to construction and
development; and
WHEREAS, the City Council amended the fee schedule relating to construction and
development on December 12, 2022; and
WHEREAS, city staff has conducted its annual review of the fee schedule relating to
planning, development, and construction fees and has proposed certain revisions thereto to
better reflect current costs of operation so that the cost of development remains with
developers rather than being passed on to the city's taxpayers at large; and
WHEREAS, staff has proposed certain revisions to platting fees to bring those fees in
line with recent legislative changes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it desirable to revise these fees as proposed by city
staff,

ordinances of the City of Paris not in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance shall
remain in full force and effect.
Section 4. That the repeal of any ordinance or part of ordinances affected by the
enactment of this ordinance shall not be construed as abandoning any action now pending
under or by virtue of such ordinance or as discontinuing, abating, modifying, or altering any
penalty accruing or to accrue, or as affecting any rights of the municipality under any section
or provisions of any ordinance at the time of passage of this ordinance.
Section S. That it is the intention of the City Council of the City of Paris that this
ordinance, and every provision hereof, shall be considered severable, and the invalidity or
partial invalidity of any section, clause, or provisions of this ordinance shall not affect the
