§ 23.10.104.15.3. Permit fees.  


Latest version.
  • Permit fees depend upon the type and extent of construction. Some projects may be required to pay for more than one type of permit fee, e.g., a building containing an elevator will require a general building permit and an elevator permit. The fee for each permit shall be as set forth in Section 23.10 Tables 3-A through 3-N. Where a technical code is adopted by the Municipality for which no fee schedule is shown in this code, the fee required shall be in accordance with the schedule established by the Assembly. Permit fees are calculated as follows:

    A.

    Permit fees for new construction are based on valuation determined in accordance with subsection 23.10.104.15.1(A). There are no additional permit fees for plumbing, mechanical and electrical permits.

    B.

    Permit fees for additions, alterations and change of use permits are not based on valuation. The fees are based on an estimated number of inspections for all disciplines provided by the permit applicant. The building official will assist the permit applicant with the initial estimate. The building official reserves the right to correct the estimate based on historic information for similar projects. A refund will be granted for inspections not used. Additional fees are required for inspections exceeding the number purchased.
