The Morgan County Commission will hold a public hearing on Nov. 17, 2026, to discuss proposed survey monument fees and related charges. According to a Oct. 18 notice, the hearing will focus on Resolution CR 26-47, which seeks to adopt a new Survey Monument Fee Schedule.
The proposed resolution, established pursuant to Morgan County Code Title 15, Chapter 154, regarding surveying and survey monuments, includes several new charges. Proposed fees include a $400 monument encroachment permit fee for each government survey monument or public land survey government corner location. Additionally, the schedule proposes a $500 monument construction permit fee per monument and inspection or reinspection fees of $150 per monument per inspection.
Beyond permit fees, the resolution addresses fees for survey filings, plat reviews, and monument supplies. It also covers costs for appeals, monument escrows, and security deposits. The proposed measures aim to address civil penalties and the recovery of costs related to the administration of the survey monument program, as well as the preservation, reestablishment, and reconstruction of monuments.
The public hearing is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, at the Morgan County Commission Room, located in the Morgan County Building at 48 West Young Street, Morgan, Utah. Individuals interested in the proposal may provide comments during the hearing or submit written comments to the Morgan County Clerk/Auditor's Office at 48 West Young Street before the meeting occurs.
