What does a building permit cost?
By Mario Bailey Last checked
We read the official fee schedule of every locality we cover and recorded what it says for 1293 permit scenarios across 134 US localities. Each entry below quotes the schedule's own terms, with the verification date. Where a locality publishes no figure, or hands the permit to a state agency, we say that instead of guessing. Many localities bill by project valuation, so a single flat number often does not exist; the notes keep that honesty.
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.
| Jurisdiction | Median fee | Records |
|---|---|---|
| Chicago, Illinois | $1,142 | 5,329 |
| Mesa, Arizona | $520 | 5,364 |
| Boston, Massachusetts | $90 | 19,468 |
Medians, not averages, so a few large projects cannot skew the figure. Full context in the turnaround study.

A plan review fee equal to 50% of the building permit fee applies when valuation exceeds $1,000 and plans must be reviewed. Starting without a permit doubles the money: the schedule's Penalties clause says "Where work for which a permit is required by this code is started or proceeded prior to obtaining said permit, the fees herein specified shall be doubled, but the payment of such double fee shall neither relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of this code in the execution of the work nor from any other penalties prescribed herein."

A reroof is a general building permit priced on valuation under Sec. 33.04(a), published as DSI's Building Permit Fee Schedule (Section 33.04 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, Effective: 2/25/2023).

An exempt reroof costs nothing. A reroof that loses the exemption, most often because sheathing or structure is being replaced, is a building permit priced from the one- and two-family valuation table in Sec. 18-20(b)(2): $52.00 up to $1,000.00 of valuation, $58.00 from $1,001.00 to $2,000.00, then $58.00 for the first $2,000.00 plus $4.33 for each additional $1,000.00 or fraction thereof to and including $100,000.00. Sec. 18-20 was last amended by Ord. No. 220612, Sec. 1, 10-27-22. Sec. 18-20(e)(2) triples the fee if the work starts before the permit issues, with a carve-out where the work is done at a one-family dwelling by the person who owns and occupies it and the permit is applied for before the end of the workday following notification.

Planning and Development Fee Schedule, "Building Permit Fees (Effective July 1, 2024)", footer "Revised 05/23/2024". "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.

Methodology
Every fee note above was written while reading the locality's current official fee schedule and was reviewed against a quoted line of that schedule before it entered the dataset, with the date recorded. Notes repeat the schedule's own billing basis (flat fee, valuation tier, plan review percentage) rather than reducing everything to one number.
Honest gaps stay gaps: a few localities publish no usable schedule (some block archives, some publish none for certain trades), and some permits are issued by a state agency instead of the locality. Those rows say exactly that.
The measured medians come from official open-data portals and are computed from real issued permits. Sample sizes are shown; medians are used throughout. Read more about the process on how we verify.
