VERIFIED 2026-07-22 via Municode API. "When the valuation of the proposed construction exceeds $1,000.00 and plans and/or specifications are required to be submitted, a non-refundable plan checking fee shall be paid... equal to one-half the building permit fee." Scoped to building + roofing permit types only (the two permit types loaded that use the §82-2(A) valuation table); NOT applied to the electrical/plumbing/mechanical NEW-construction flat sub-trade fees (§82-2(C)), since those are separate bundled fees not computed as a fraction of a building-permit valuation fee.
Total estimate$542.90
