Royston Raises Certain Planning and Zoning Application Fees to $325
Royston City Council unanimously approved additions and changes to its Fiscal Year 2026 rates and fees on March 23, 2026, raising the charge for planning and zoning applications that require newspaper advertising or signage from $250 to $325 per application. The council acted on a motion by Councilman McCollum, seconded by Councilman Fields, and the minutes record a 6-0 vote.

The next public point of clarification will be a city record or published fee schedule showing when the $325 charge takes effect and how staff will apply it. Until Royston provides that implementation detail, applicants can identify the council-approved amount for applications requiring advertising or signage but cannot determine from the March 23 minutes alone when the new charge begins.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
