For maintenance activities to existing residential property

| ||
|
*Note: does not apply on maintenance projects and/or permits
remaining under an initial $10,000 value of work.
| ||
|
EXAMPLES:
| ||
|
Building/regulated activity permit fee for a new $148,000 house:
| ||
|
Base application fee: $25 plus ($148,000/$1,000) x $12 = $1,801
| ||
|
Total building/regulated activity permit fee: $1,801
| ||
|
Maintenance Permit Example #1: Roofing repairs = $15,000.
| ||
|
Base application fee = $25 plus ($15,000 - $10,000) $5,000 cost
or 5 x 12 = $60 for a total cost of $85.
| ||
|
Maintenance Permit Example #2: Chimney repairs = $10,750.
| ||
|
Base application fee = $25 only and fee is pro-rated on $750
($9) for a total of $34 (fee is pro-rated on any $1,000 over the waiver
amount).
| ||
|
Note 1: The value of work is based on the fair
market value of the improvements as determined by the Code Enforcement
Officer. Any work costing over a $10,000 is pro-rated to the even
$100 of cost for permitting purposes.
