(A) Building permit fees are based on the contracted construction cost. If the construction is by the owner, or cost is otherwise unknown, then the cost is estimated by the building official based on square footage and current average cost per square foot for the type of construction being permitted. Fees are as follows:
Construction Cost | Permit Fee |
$0 to $5,000 | $40 |
$5,001 to $100,000 | $40 plus $5 per $1,000 |
$100,001 to $500,000 | $515 plus $4 per $1,000 |
$500,001 up | $2,115 plus $3 per $1,000 |
(B) A $50 fee will be charged for re-inspections in every area where permits are required. "Re-inspection" is defined as any trip in addition to those specifically named on the building permit job card or any trip made as the result of condemned or disapproved work; calling for inspections prior to the work being ready for inspection; and additional trips made because access to the structure is not provided. Re-inspection fees shall be paid at the Building Official's office at the time of inspection. An exception is when the re-inspection is a result of an error on the part of the inspector.
(C) Where work for which a permit is required by this code is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining such permit, the fees herein specified shall be doubled, but the payment of such double fee shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the requirements of this code in the execution of the work or from any other penalties prescribed herein.
