Morphology

rezoning + fee

The meaning 'a fee charged when requesting a change in zoning' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'rezoning' (the process of altering zoning) with 'fee' (a sum paid). Although it is administrative jargon, the noun-noun compound follows standard compositional patterns and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

The term rezoning fee comes from the simple idea of paying the local government to redraw the town's rules about land use. You pay a fee when you ask them to rezone your property, so the phrase means 'a one-time charge to change the property's zoning'.
