Building Permits 54%
All construction (including: new, additional, alteration, remodel, repair, and other construction) for both
residential and commercial construction permit
processing, services, and inspection fees are calculated as follows: Two general methods are used to calculate
fees in service centers A1, A2, A3, and A4. The use of a flat fee and the use of the estimated regional market
value of the proposed construction multiplied by a "fee factor." These methods represent the estimated cost of
providing all plan review and various inspection fees
required for the project. Valuation data is based upon the February 2026 building valuation data (BVD). Alterations & Remodels will be valued at $82 per square foot or by an official contract approved by the Building Director. The revenue generated from this is then spread to the various costs center as follows: 54% N/A 0.00%
