COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS

Before purchasing a commercial building permit, the plans MUST BE REVIEWED BY THIS OFFICE. A building inspector and a fire inspector will review these plans to work out any problems in meeting State codes before any work can begin. This may take several days. We require two (2) sets of plans of the project and there is a fee for this review. Please see chart below. Once you have approval from the inspectors, you may begin the process of getting a building permit. Please see this process on the page "How Do I Get A Building Permit."

The cost of a commercial building permit is based on the value of the entire project. We will need to know this value before computing the cost of your permit.

COMMERCIAL PERMIT FEES

Commercial permit fees are based on the project cost. A new commercial project is $2.50 per $1,000 of valuation with $75 then added for each sub (electrical/plumbing/mechanical/fire sprinkler). Commercial renovations or remodels are figured the same way with a minimum permit fee of $250.
