Various usage fees and fees have been revised from April 1, 2020.

From April 1, 2020, "(1) Sustainable administrative management," "(2) Appropriate burden on users and non-users," and "(3) Response to consumption tax hike." ”, various usage fees and fees have been revised following a resolution at the December 2019 City Council regular meeting. We ask for the understanding and cooperation of all citizens.

Note: Usage fees and fees that have not been revised are not listed.

With regard to payment for the use of city facilities and services provided to specific individuals, from the perspective of sustainable administrative management and appropriate balancing of the burden on those who use the services and those who do not, we ask that those who use the services bear an appropriate burden, rather than covering the costs associated with providing the services solely through taxes.

In addition, since the costs of city facilities and administrative services fluctuate depending on operational conditions such as changes in the number of users, fluctuations in prices, tax reforms, etc., the amounts of usage fees and charges need to be reviewed regularly.

We have recently established the ``Usage Fee Calculation Standards'' and ``Fees Calculation Standards'' that incorporate the perspective of the new public accounting system, which utilizes full cost information including depreciation expenses, which were formulated through a public opinion process from citizens. Based on this, we have reviewed the usage fees and fees, and have decided to revise them to new fees from April 1, 2020.

After verifying the full cost of facilities and services (personnel costs, property costs, depreciation costs, etc.), and determining the proportion of public expenditures for each type of service, we compare them with current rates and compare them with neighboring municipalities. We have made a comprehensive judgment and set this after taking into consideration the balance between the two.

In addition, to prevent a sudden increase in burden, the upper limit is, in principle, twice the current usage fees and fees.

There will be no changes to the fee reduction and exemption systems for each facility.

Note: Use for social education activities is still free of charge.
