The permit fee shall be based on the Cost of the Job (Cost of Job to include proposed building, labor and materials),
use the formula below to calculate the fee:

Permit Fee Formula:

Find the Cost of Job Category that your job falls into (Categories 1, 2, and 3 are flat Base Fees
which are listed in the below Cost of Permit Column)

1.         For categories 4, 5 and 6, Round your job cost up to the nearest thousand

2.         Cost of Job - Category Minimum Cost = Difference
                                                           
3.         Difference x the Multiplier = Product       

4.         Product + the Base fee = Permit Fee

5.         Permit fee + State Fee = Total Permit Fee

Example of Formula for a Job with a Cost of $22,300:  

1.         $22,300 rounds up to $23,000           

2.         $23,000 - $1,000 = $22,000

3.         22 (drop the thousand fraction) x $12.00 = $264.00

4.         $264.00 + $35.00 = $299.00

5.         $299.00 + $2.00 = $301.00 (Total Permit Fee)
