How much does a building permit cost?

There is no national price for a building permit. Each city or county sets its fees by ordinance. The most common method charges by the project’s value (valuation): a base fee for the first band of value plus an amount for each additional $1,000. Others charge flat fees for small jobs, by square foot, by fixture, or add plan review as a percentage of the permit fee, plus surcharges.

Because the fee is usually a formula, a single number for “a deck permit” or “a roof permit” is only meaningful for a stated project value in a stated city. Below are the fee schedules themselves, with the lines quoted exactly.
