This section also requires each local government to provide an applicant for a development approval the current fee schedule and an estimate of all fees that may reasonably be assessed for the applicant's project within 10 business days after the applicant submits a completed application. When a development approval is issued, the local government must provide the applicant with a binding, final fee statement of exact fees due, which may not exceed the previously provided estimate. An applicant may bring a civil action in superior court to compel compliance with the requirements of this section.
