Notes:
(a) The International Code Council publishes the Construction Cost Index, which is usually updated every six months. It reflects average square foot construction costs based upon typical construction methods for each occupancy group and type of construction. Whether a specific project is bid at a cost above or below the index value does not affect the permit fee. This establishes a “level playing field” for all potential project bidders.
