Schedule does not say which floor area the $0.06/sq ft residential fee is measured on (living area vs total under roof)
Utility deposit ($60) is listed for residential permits without saying which permits pay it; stored as a conditional fee
Trade permits (electrical, plumbing, mechanical) are separate permits each with a $4.25 state fee; a new house typically needs them but they depend on counts

Separate electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire, impact, utility and school fees are usually not included unless they are listed. BuildingPermitCost is not a government permit office, and this is not legal advice.
