While every municipality has its own set of permit fee schedules, this provides a general guideline:

  • Permit fees are often based on the square footage of the building or structure or cost of the project for new construction.
  • Electrical permit fees are often determined by the service size in amperage.
  • Mechanical permit fees are often determined by valuation.
  • Plumbing permits are often determined by the number of fixtures to be installed.
  • Roofing permits are often determined by project valuation
