Calculating Permit Fees

RS Means is a division of Reed Business Information that provides cost information to the construction industry so contractors in the industry can provide accurate estimates and projections for their project costs.
 

There are other free websites that can also help you evaluate the cost of your job.

Permit fees vary based on the work you are doing and the municipality in which the project is located.   The cost of the permit is calculated individually during application and plan review. A permit is not valid until paid in full.  Working  (this includes site excavation) without a valid permit will incur double permit fees and/or daily fines.  

The links below provide a generic calculation for projects.  For more details about pricing in a specific municipality, contact us.

BOND Information

What is a Bond?

A bond is money collected for the municipality at the time of permit fee payment.  The bond fee will be returned as long as there is an approved final prior to the permit's expiration date and as long as all the requirements of the bond have been met.
