What counts as project value
ICC Building Valuation Data table. New construction square footage is valued with the ICC Building Valuation Data Tables (Building Official may adopt the latest edition annually). Other work over $19,000 uses the applicant-submitted total value of all construction work (building cost, finish work, painting, paving, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, elevators, fire protection and other pertinent work).
Worked example: a $350,000 new home
- Building permit fee: 0.35% of $350,000.00 = $1,225.00
