State Building Code / DBPR Surcharge$4.00
Ordinance: 'There is a State Surcharge of two and one-half (2.5) percent of the "building" permit cost or four dollars ($4.00), whichever is greater, for all building permits, except fences.' Rate and basis (percent of the PERMIT FEE, not valuation) are unambiguous and verified. Loaded as a single combined 2.5% line exactly as printed by the source (NOT split into the separate F.S. 553.721 / 468.631 statutory lines, since Rockledge's own page states one combined figure). Scope across permit types is ambiguous: the clause sits directly after the general fee table that explicitly covers building/electrical/plumbing/mechanical/alterations, but the phrase says 'building permit cost' / 'building permits.' Applied to all Permit Types (left blank = all) as the more structurally consistent reading; flagged needs_confirmation for a human to verify whether it is building-only in practice.
Total estimate$84.00

New construction valuation is set using the ICC Building Valuation Data Table; all other permits are valued based on the total cost of work (materials and labor) as stated on the permit application, subject to Building Official review.
