Municipal Local Share
Beginning in 2025, the municipal local share structure is changed to better capture costs. A quarter of the local share will be devoted to professional assistance to the municipalities. This amount can be transferred between municipalities and deferred up to three years. In 2025, this amounts to $1,417.18 per municipality.

The per capita share remains in place for the balance of the local share. This covers grant matches, certain administrative items, certain professional development activities, and office management not otherwise covered elsewhere. In 2025, the per capita local share is 45¢.

Local share invoices go out following the September meeting of the Blair Government Advisory Committee and are payable between January 1 and March 31. If we do not receive payment by June 30, most state and federal grant-based services will be cut off and higher development review fees will apply to the non-paying municipality.
 

We accept payments for plan reviews online. Click the button to the right and follow the on-screen prompts.

We can also process payments over the phone and in-person. And, of course, traditional checks still work!
