Worked example: a $350,000 new home

Building permit fee: 1.75% of $350,000.00 = $6,125.00
Application fee: fixed = $75.00
Plan review fee: $350,000.00 ÷ 1,000 × $7.50 = $2,625.00
Administrative surcharge (city fees) on permit fee: 8% of $6,125.00 = $490.00
Administrative surcharge (city fees) on plan examination fee: 8% of $2,625.00 = $210.00
Broward County surveillance fee: $350,000.00 ÷ 1,000 × $0.35 = $122.50
Broward County fee (Admin Code Sec. 43.1): $0.52 × 350 per $1,000.00 = $182.00
Florida State Construction Fee: 2,400 sq ft × $0.01 = $12.00
Florida State Radon Tax: 2,400 sq ft × $0.01 = $12.00
Florida Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Fund (F.S. 468.631): 1.5% of $6,125.00 = $91.88
