What does a building permit cost?

Median fees measured from real permit records

For jurisdictions whose open-data portals publish issued permits, we compute the median fee from the records themselves. These are actual amounts charged, not schedule text.

Medians, not averages, so a few large projects cannot skew the figure. Full context in the turnaround study.

"Other Building Permit Fees: Minor Renovation Projects (valued less than $75,000) | Residential Renovation Permit | $125" and "Extensive Renovation Projects (valued at $75,000 or greater) | Extensive Renovation Permit | $4 per $1,000 of construction value". The schedule also states "Building permit fees include Plan Review and Building Inspections" and prices reinspections at "First Follow-up Inspection $0", "Second Follow-up Inspection $50", "Third and each Subsequent Follow-up Inspection $100", with "Penalty for Construction Prior to Issuance of Permit 100% of the Permit Fee". A residential re-roof valued under $75,000 therefore falls in the $125 Residential Renovation Permit band. Caution on figures: the department's older undated handout "Regulatory Requirements for Residential Permits" still prices this work at "$0.006 x Value of Construction" and the 2012-era step sheets at "$6 per $1,000 of estimated construction cost (minimum fee is $30)", both of which predate the July 1, 2024 schedule.
