TPM processing in Tuolumne County is a County Surveyor's Office fee, not a Planning fee. Source is the official 'FEE SCHEDULE — COUNTY SURVEYOR'S OFFICE, Effective August 18th, 2025' (the DocumentCenter ID is stable but the file behind it is now titled 'Surveyors Fees 2025-2026'; it is the Fee Schedule link on the County Surveyor page, tuolumnecounty.ca.gov/174/County-Surveyor). Extracted via reader-proxy text extraction (county site is Cloudflare bot-blocked to direct curl). The separate Planning Services fee schedule (DocumentCenter/View/22443, now 'Effective January 2026') still lists only 'Tentative Subdivision Map (subject to CEQA — deposit plus Time and Materials) $18,606.25' and no TPM line, consistent with TPM being a Survey Division fee under Ord. Code 3.40.010(P)(4).

From the official 'Recorder's Schedule of Fees' PDF (2025 posting) linked as the sole fee schedule on the Recorder's Fees page (tuolumnecounty.ca.gov/1085/Fees), extracted via reader-proxy. Quoted rows: 'FILING OF OFFICIAL MAPS — Assessment, Parcel, Subdivision, Survey - First Page $9.00; Additional Map Pages $2.00'. Supersedes the stale 2020 figure ($13 first page/$3 additional) previously on file.

Re-verified 2026-07: the Rev. 9-1-21 Division of Land Application remains the City of Sonora's current, live-linked application on sonoraca.com/forms/ (PDF re-downloaded and text-extracted; figures unchanged). The city's newer 'Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees' (Oct 2024 council item) was re-checked and still does not itemize planning/subdivision map fees, so the Division of Land figures remain the current published amounts. A Google hit for a 'Planning Building Department Fee Schedule Effective January 1, 2026' turned out to be City of Piedmont's (CivicLive Server_13659739) and was discarded.

Recording fee: No separate city recording fee — Sonora directs all map/document recording to the Tuolumne County Recorder.

County map-filing fee is currently $9.00 first page + $2.00 each additional map page (Recorder's Schedule of Fees, 2025). source · verified 2026-07
