What are building permit fees?

Almost all municipalities publish their permit fee schedules online. A general guideline:
- Permit Fees are often based on the square footage of the building or structure or cost of the project.
- Electrical permit fees are determined by the service size in Amperage.
- Mechanical permit fees are often determined by a valuation.
- Plumbing Permits are often determined by the number of fixtures to be installed.
- Roofing is often determined by project valuation.
