CONSTRUCTION PERMIT FEES.

A. Calculation.

Construction permit fees for new construction, additions and accessory structures shall be calculated by the following method:

1) Multiply the total square footage of the structure by the applicable square footage construction cost set out in Table A or A2 (below). 2) Determine the estimated actual construction cost. 3) Apply the greater of the above values to the fee table set out below as Table B1 (Commercial) or Table B2 (Residential), whichever is applicable.

Construction permit fees for remodels, alterations and demolitions shall be calculated by applying the estimated actual construction cost to Table B1 for commercial projects and Table B2 for residential projects.

The Codes Administrator shall determine the applicable cost per square foot valuation in the tables for structures and uses not specifically listed by using the most analogous valuation.

B. BVD Adjustment.

The construction cost table set out below reflects the BVD as published by the ICC. Annually in the second quarter and without any further Governing Body action, the construction cost table shall be automatically adjusted to reflect the most recent BVD published by the ICC. Any adjustment made shall become effective thirty (30) days following publication in the City’s official newspaper. The new construction cost table shall also be posted in a conspicuous place at City Hall. The construction cost table may be adjusted by resolution at any other time as may be deemed appropriate by the Governing Body.
