The valuation table is updated every six months to provide an up-to-date "average" construction cost per square foot. For construction of new single family residential dwellings, the permit fee will be calculated based on heated square feet. Once the valuation is determined, the following table is used to calculate permit fees:
(a) Twenty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents fee ($28.75) for any valuation of a structure that is $3,000.00 or less.
(b) Twenty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents fee ($28.75) for the first $3,000.00 plus $5.75 for each additional thousand or fraction thereof, to and including $50,000.00, for any valuation of a structure that is from $3,000.01 to $50,000.00.

Tenant improvement permits and interior remodeling permits will be issued based on the permit and plan checking fee schedule.
(5) Miscellaneous residential and agricultural zoned accessory building permits. Permit fees for sheds, pole barns, unattached garages and other like structures will be calculated using the following guidelines: for a structure without any utilities (plumbing, electrical or HVAC) consisting of pole type, wood or steel frame construction without a concrete floor, the permit fee shall be calculated at 25% of the square foot cost using the most current ICC building valuation data for utility group and VB construction type, not including the suggested 20% deduction for shell only buildings. Permit fees for structures with a concrete floor and wood or steel frame construction with no utilities shall be calculated at 35% of the ICC valuation using the same group and construction type. Permit fees for buildings with a concrete floor and wood or steel frame that include any utilities, (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) will be calculated at 45% of the ICC valuation.
