Thomas-Henry asks about the average annual consent fee range. Craven says fees range from a few hundred dollars to around $2,000-$2,500 on average, with some in central areas costing more, and clarifies this is the only annual fee businesses pay.

Councilmember Thomas Henry, you may ask your questions on 918.

Shanel Thomas-Henry

Thank you.

Shanel Thomas-Henry

On average, what is the range of the annual consent fee for businesses?

Michelle Craven

So off the top of my head, I'd say they range from a few hundred dollars.

Michelle Craven

On average, it's probably $2,000, $2,500, something like that.

And then there are some in the central parts of the city and what's called Sector 4 in the legislation that would be in the thousands of dollars, like more thousands of dollars.
