Tentative map review fee: $4,640 planning base fee + Actual Cost (Public Works) + $175 (Assessor) + $120 (County Counsel) = $4,935.00 minimum, plus actual-cost variable component source · verified 2026-07

Verified directly from the Kings County Master Fee Schedule PDF (effective January 17, 2026), line item 'LAND DIVISION ORD.: PARCEL MAPS -- Tent. Parcel Map (TPM)'. This is the only source checked (single-sourced); the underlying ordinance, Kings County Code Sec. 21-85, states only that the fee amount is 'established by resolution or order of the board of supervisors' without stating the dollar figure, so the fee schedule PDF is the sole authoritative dollar-figure source found.

From the Kings County Clerk/Recorder 2026 fee schedule PDF, Clerk/Recorder Division: general document recording is $13.00 first page (or $16.00 if subject to the Real Estate Fraud fee) with the line item 'Maps -- Each Additional Page $2.00' distinct from the standard $3.00/page rate for other instrument types. Single-sourced (only the official fee-schedule PDF was checked); a second corroborating source (e.g., a staff report) was not located.

Tentative map review fee: $3,350.00 (initial) — listed as 'Site Plan Review: Initial Major or Subdivision/Parcel Map'; first resubmittal no charge, subsequent resubmittal $825.00 source · verified 2026-07

Extracted directly from the FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule PDF text (linked from the Planning Division page as the current fee document). Hanford's fee schedule bundles Tentative Parcel Map/Subdivision review under the 'Site Plan Review' fee category rather than a line item literally named 'Tentative Parcel Map'. Single-sourced -- a second corroborating source (e.g. a staff report or agenda item restating this figure) was not located; a separate, older document titled simply 'Master Fee Schedule' (https://ci.hanford.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/444/Master-Fee-Schedule-PDF) also exists on the same site and was not cross-checked against this figure.

Recording fee: Not set by the City -- final parcel/subdivision maps for Hanford are recorded with the Kings County Recorder (see county.recordingFee above: $13.00 first page + $2.00 each additional page for maps) source · verified 2026-07

Hanford is not a charter city with its own recorder; all recorded maps within Hanford file with the Kings County Recorder per the Subdivision Map Act.
