Building Permit Fee Calculator

The online residential building permit fee calculator is for estimating purposes only and is provided as a courtesy. The dollar amount you figure may not be the exact amount you will be charged. Due to the numerous types of permits our office processes, a calculator is provided only for the most common permits.

Please note that there is a minimum building permit fee of $40.00 regardless of the size of the structure.

Fees for onsite wastewater and driveway permits are not included in the calculator below. See our Forms & Fees page for this information.

If you are paying with a credit card please note that a 2.35% convenience fee will be added to all credit card transactions with a minimum fee of $1.55. To avoid this you may pay with cash or a check.

All fees are subject to change and must be paid when you apply for the permit.
