[Ord. No. 9244, 4-3-2003]
The Building Official is authorized to estimate the total cost
of construction of a structure, building or project, by multiplying
the total floor area of the structure in square feet by an appropriate
square foot cost rate. Structures or projects for which it is impractical
to estimate the total construction cost by such square foot cost method
shall be estimated by applying current, commonly accepted unit cost
figures to the various components in a commonly accepted manner. In
lieu of determining the total cost of construction as outlined above,
the Building Official may accept a bona fide contract or any affidavit
of the owner of the building structure or project in which the total
cost of construction, including site improvements related to the permit,
is verified by applicant and the owner.
