Sierra County

Tentative map review fee: $100 nonrefundable application review fee, then full cost-recovery deposit billed at $65/hour staff time (no flat tentative parcel map fee) source · verified 2026-07

Corroborated by two sources: the Planning Fees page (live fetch) and the official County Master Fee Schedule PDF (Schedule J — Planning Department), https://www.sierracounty.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7669/County-Fee-Schedules, which lists 'Parcel Map Subdivisions', 'Parcel Map Waivers', and 'Parcel Mergers' as deposit-based applications billed at $65/hour (quarter-hour increments) after a $100 nonrefundable initial review fee, per Resolution 2018-024 (Master Fee Schedule) as amended. There is no separate flat 'tentative parcel map fee' — Sierra County runs 100% actual-cost-recovery deposit accounting for planning entitlements.

Recording fee: $6 first page + $2 each additional page for recording a map (parcel/final map), per Gov. Code § 27372; plus the $75 SB2 Building Homes & Jobs Act fee applies to most other real estate documents but maps are billed under the separate lower map-recording schedule source · verified 2026-07

Double-verified: (1) County Master Fee Schedule PDF, Clerk-Recorder Schedule D, 'Recording of Maps: First Page $6.00 (GC 27372), Each Additional Page $2.00'; (2) the Clerk-Recorder's own current 'Schedule of Fees (Effective Jan 1, 2026)' PDF at https://www.sierracounty.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/6485/Schedule-of-Fees-01-01-22 (filename is stale but content is dated effective 1/1/2026), which states 'Recorder's Fees ... $6 First Page; $2 Second Page Survey Maps; $250 CD Survey Maps.' Note the county's general (non-map) document recording fee is separately $14 first page / $3 additional per the master schedule, rising to $15 first page effective March 1, 2026 per the Recorder's page (https://www.sierracounty.ca.gov/220/Recorder) — that increase applies to regular documents, not confirmed to apply to the GC 27372 map-specific fee.
