What counts as project value

ICC Building Valuation Data table. 'Building Permits (valuation based on 90% of the ICC Building Valuation Data - AUGUST 2025)'.

Worked example: a $350,000 new home

Building permit fee: $993.75 for the first $100,000.00 + $5.60 × 250 per $1,000.00 over = $2,393.75
Plan review fee: 40% of $2,393.75 = $957.50
State charge (Utah): 1% of $2,393.75 = $23.94
Total before trade permits: $3,375.19.

What this page does not cover (8)

No precise effective date: the schedule is the 'FY 2027' approved column; the fiscal-year start date is not printed.
'+ / $1,000 increase' without 'or fraction thereof': rounding of partial increments unstated.
Valuation for single-family homes comes from the city's per-sq-ft Building Valuation Calculator (main floor, basement, garage rates); the calculator takes a valuation directly and cannot convert floor areas (basement/garage areas need their own input).
Impact and utility connection fees are adopted separately and not extracted.
No separate electrical/plumbing/mechanical permit fee table found in the schedule (appears to be covered by the building permit); not confirmed.
Printed 'First $25,000 of the Total Valuation $391.75' contradicts $69.25 + 23 x $14 = $391.25, and the next base ($643.75) chains from $391.25 not $391.75. The $25k remodel permit fee is $391.25 by the increments but $391.75 as printed; needs the permit office.
The 1% state charge is printed under Plan Review, below the Non-Residential line, as '% of permit fee'; applied to all permits.
Printed band bases are the official fee and are used as printed; the non-chaining moves standard permit fees by under 2%, so the page publishes with this note.

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.
