Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year). The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.
Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, C, D, or E, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), Technology Enhancement Fees, and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

Fully- burdened hourly rate includes benefits, adjustment for productive hours, indirect costs, etc. Example: $90,000 annual salary / 2,080 hours = $43.27/hr. Multiple by factor of 3.38 to calculate fully-burdened hourly rate of $146/hr. 39
