cost of permit

[Dave Maxwell]

What foes everyone pay for building permits. My county charges. .20 per s/f. Cost me 604a dollars just .for a permit to build a cold storage

 

[boiler7904]

Last time I applied for a permit in my town was 2008 when I built a new patio. Fee was something like a $25 application fee, $25 permit fee for first $1000 of estimated construction costs + $6 for every additional $1000 of estimated construction. No backup information required at that time.

 

[Gary S]

Mine was around $225 for a 1150 sq ft building

 

[Buckgnarly]

We don't have a single town fee or permit, my neighbor built his entire house with only state septic permits......

 

[Falcon67]

$50.

 

[Dave Maxwell]

They want 45 for electric permit. Then have to have hvac permit. Water permit. They want everything. This is after I already paid for a variance

 

[911mike]

I built a 3200 sf ft stick barn and it was $1180.00 for the building permit and $128.00 for a BASIC electrical

 

[Dave Maxwell]

I'm lucky compared to you Mike

 

[A_Pmech]

None. No permits, no inspections, no problems.

 

[lotsoftools]

We are only required to get a permit for the septic system.

 

[Dave Maxwell]

If I still lived at my old house. I would just need a cheap permit and that's it. Now I moved one county over and chaching

 

[Highbeam]

1800$ for 1800 SF pole barn. Actually closer to 2000$ after the electrical permit.

This is Pierce County WA, same county contains Tacoma.

 

[Goobzilla]

$2200 2560 sq ft pole barn Wellington, CO

 

[Knuckle Buster]

We are only required to get a permit for the septic system.

Same here.

 

[MScott]

Building permits here are 1.2% of the estimated total cost of the building. A separate permit is required for a septic and is usually $750.

 

[NXGTS]

The permit to build my garage was $375. It would have been the same if I had built a house. All the same inspections need to be made on the garage as a house. I paid an additional $25 for a septic permit because of the bathroom.

 

[Marcmcm]

Where I live it's about 1% of estimated cost which I think is somewhat unfair. If I build a really expensive garage my permit costs more than a bare bones garage even if they're the same size.

The local school district paid over $300,000 for permits on two elementary schools.

 

[hockey88fan]

$25 for anything under 1000 sq ft. Once over that, it jumps to $125, plus all kind of inspections during construction. I kept mine under 1000.

 

[hh76]

I've pulled permits in a lot of different AHJ's, and there are a lot of different rate structures.

Some are percentage of project cost, or
fixed rate, or
based of square footage, or
a charge for every inspection necessary

Anywhere from $50 to a couple thousand for a garage wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Dave Maxwell]

School permits should be free in my opinion.

 

[mothgrey]

341 building
114 elect

 

[kwb]

Remodel on house (750 sf add) ~$2500
Electrical for house was $30ish
Shop 10yrs ago was ~$2000

 

[brookscooper]

I'm a bit north of $4,500 for all of mine - detached garage - no interior finish, no insulation, but big.

Friend built a 5k sqft HOME in a small community east of here and his total for permits was under $900.

 

[trbomax]

None. No permits, no inspections, no problems.

same here.

 

[bouldermsm]

hang on to your shorts....(i live amoungst the enemy in Boulder, CO).....

popped the top on my ranch in 2005 and the fees were just over $12,000

a new neighbor built on a vacant lot a few doors down about the same time and the fees were $79,000.

fees are complicated in what they include, but wow. and i did it----wow.

dead serious.

 

[Will67]

$3,500 for mine which include 1,900sqft garage, 550sqft carport, and a master bath addition to home.

 

[cranejon]

Surely the guy received more than a permit for $79000 in Boulder. Did that fee include water and sewer assessments? Tap and installation fees? Road paving fees? Driveway approach? Hydrant and possibly storm water costs?

We run into fees like that when we are building in newer Townships, but most are related to commercial type developments.

 

[rburke65]

1800 sq. ft. stick built shop.... $385. That's a zone permit, build permit, elec. permit, and a down spout permit.

 

[Pate]

I am in the process of building a new house. 3000 square foot

Building permit $4910.00
Demo permit $145.00
Planning Board $550.00
Arch review board $125.00
Driveway permit $75.00
Sanitation permit $50.00

 

[darkk]

Here it's a percentage of the estimated build cost.

 

[barks]

Septic permit only. The way it should be.

 

[buddyboy]

sounds like the government of Boulder, CO is sending a clear message to anyone that wants to build a building there, and that message is:

"we don't want any more buildings here or people working construction jobs"

 

[Cheap5.0]

I paid about $215 in fees to put up my 30x40 pole barn last winter. Im not sure how they determine the cost, but i know the app fee was pretty high, over $100.
