Adjustment: Adjusts twice a year · ENR construction cost index
what the document says
ENR Construction Cost Index, applied TWICE YEARLY (Jan 15 and mid-year)

Next expected change: 1 Jul 2027 rate on file is stale

A scheduled adjustment has passed since this rate took effect

This fee escalates twice a year. The rate on file is effective 15 Jan 2026, and at least one adjustment has fallen due since. The current amount is probably different, and for an indexed fee almost certainly higher. The next change after that is expected 1 Jul 2027.

The figure is published as held rather than projected forward, because a number computed from an index is not a number quoted from an adopted schedule. It is flagged so you can check the agency's current schedule before relying on it.

Facts with a quoted source: 1 of 10 record fields
How sure we are: High
Read on: 21 Sep 2026
Kind of document: Adopted fee schedule
Jurisdiction: Morgan Hill

What “high” means, and what this fee rests on

High: We read this straight from the document that sets the fee: the city's ordinance, the council resolution, or the official fee schedule. This is the strongest kind of source, because the number and the rule come from the agency that charges it, in its own words.
Medium: We read this from an official document, but not the one that sets the fee. It might be a staff report, a study the fee was based on, or another agency's summary of it. These are usually right, but they can lag behind a change or describe a fee differently from the document that sets it. We also use medium when the agency's own documents disagree with each other.
Low: We could not find this in a current official document. It may come from an older version of the schedule, a secondary source, or from how the agency appears to apply the fee in practice. Treat it as a lead and check with the agency before relying on it.
Derived: Not read from a document at all. Filled in from the type of fee, such as which law authorizes it. Shown separately so it is never mistaken for a quotation.
