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 $94.00 = $141,000
576 sq. ft. X $48.00 = $27,648
$168,648 (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*
($168648= $169,000.00)

$169,000.00 X ($3.00 per thousand) = $507.00
$300.00 (base fee)
$807.00 (total permit fee for this home)
