Fees for building permit applications are $9.00 per $1,000.00 of construction cost (rounded up if only a portion of 1,000), plus a $10.00 application fee. Example: $4,300 construction cost would be (5*9)+10= $55.00

Any construction cost under $1,000 is a $20.00 permit. 

Application fees are due at the time of applying. Review and approval of applications are still required prior to work being done.
