Resolution 2026-02, Building and Fire Prevention Fees

Covers building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permits. Minimum permit fee: $50.00.

Bradford County's Building Department issues building permits inside the City of Lawtey on the county's Resolution 2026-02 fee schedule; no written city-county agreement is published, so confirm with the county at 904-966-6223 before you apply. Lawtey handles its own zoning, so the county's $100 Certificate of Land Development Regulation Compliance included in these estimates may not apply there, and any city zoning fee is unpublished. See the Bradford County fee schedule

Official Fee Schedule

How Lawtey values a job: Bradford County calculates a building permit's value from a per square foot table by structure type, rounded to the nearest $1,000. For residential work the table value is used. For commercial and multifamily work the county uses the higher of the table value and the contractor's declared contract price, so a project costing more than $80 per square foot will be charged on the contract price. Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing, and other trade permits are priced on the declared contract price, per Resolution 2026-02.

Schedule effective March 3, 2026. Last verified: September 29, 2026

This schedule predates Florida's HB 803 (July 2026). Jurisdictions statewide are adopting updated schedules; we check sources weekly. What HB 803 changed
