Building permit fees are based on the type and value of the construction
work. Most building permit fees are established by the State of
Oregon, with administrative fees set at the local level. Fees are
determined based on the valuation of the work and on the specific
items of work being proposed.
Valuation is the term for the anticipated market value
of the proposed construction project. Building permit fees include
charges for all site, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, land
use, fire and life safety reviews, subsequent inspections, and
processing.
Utility permit fees are based on the specific number of fixtures,
circuits, or mechanical units you are installing or altering. Please
call the Permit Center at 635-0390 for specific information.
If your permit application is for new construction, you will
also be asked to pay System Development Fees. These are collected
to pay for a portion of the cost of constructing streets, sanitary
and storm sewers, parks, and other public systems needed as a result
of the proposed construction project. They are charged on new residential
construction and may apply to commercial additions or alterations.
The fees are set and allocated by the Engineering and Finance Departments
and are collected at the Permit Center when a building permit is
issued.
We are unable to give fee estimates for commercial projects because
of the complexity of each project. A complete listing of all development
fees is available at the Permit Center.
