On February 12, 2026, MTS updated Board Policy 50 Engineering and Construction Expense Cost Recovery for Plan Review, Real Estate Actions, and Right of Entry Permits. The update is intended to standardize MTS real estate entitlement costs and ensure MTS staff time is reimbursed. Entitlement valuations are shown below.
| Entitlement Valuation | Setup Fee | |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Entitlement | $2,300/year | $800 |
| Major Entitlement | Fair Market Value | $2,000 |
Minor entitlements have minimal impact to MTS and grantees are required to commit to a future relocation at their own cost at the request of MTS. Major entitlements are based on an appraised fair market value, paid for by the grantee.
Grantees are required to follow the MTS Right of Entry permit process.
