Fee fixing refers to the systematic process of establishing standardized rates, charges, and fees that Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) can legally impose within their jurisdictions for various services and permits.
Based on the guidelines, MMDAs can impose fees for various services including:
- Business operating permits and licenses
- Building permits and certificates
- Market stall rentals and trading permits
- Property rates and assessments
- Various administrative services and documentation
- Revenue items for local assemblies include rents (for district infrastructure like market sheds and stalls), fees (for use of market grounds and lorry parks), fines (for flouting by-laws)
