<p><strong>Public-service lead:</strong> Greensboro says seven Planning Department application fees increased after adoption of the city's 2026-27 fiscal-year budget. The city says the revisions are primarily tied to the cost of public notification for hearing and public-hearing applications handled by the Board of Adjustment and Planning and Zoning Commission.</p><p>The city's fee schedule has been updated, but the short notice does not list the individual old and new amounts.</p><p><strong>Editorial review:</strong> Pull the current fee schedule, identify all seven changes and effective dates, and confirm whether applications already filed are subject to the new rates. Add a short explanation of who pays the fees and which hearing types are affected.</p><p><strong>Suggested format:</strong> Greensboro planning fees change under new fiscal-year budget.</p><p style="font-size:0.95rem;color:#8fa9bd;border-top:1px solid rgba(143,169,189,0.25);padding-top:14px;"><strong>Sources:</strong> <a href="https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/Home/Components/News/News/22692/36" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greensboro city notice, July 7, 2026</a>; <a href="https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/departments/planning/boards-commissions-meetings/planning-and-zoning-commission/staff-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planning staff reports and fee-schedule hub</a>.
