Example: Building Permit Cost Calculation
1500 sq. foot Home with a 576 sq. foot Garage. The building permit will be as follows:
1500 sq. ft. X $98.00 = $147,000
576 sq. ft. X $49.00 = $28,224
$175,224 (total valuation of home)
*Note: there is a $300.00 (Base Fee) added to any new house in Jefferson Co.
*Note: the total valuation of a home is always rounded to the highest thousand*
($175,224 = $176,000.00)
$176,000.00 X ($3.00 per thousand) = $528.00
$300.00 (base fee)
$828.00 (total permit fee for this home)
