Plan Review Fee (Building)$155.00
"The plan review fees shall be equal to 1/2 (one half) the building permit fee" — stated as in addition to fees charged in subsection (A) [building permit valuation table] only. Not applied to subsection (C) trade fees (electrical/mechanical/plumbing/roofing), even where those reuse the Table A valuation rates, because the resolution ties this fee specifically to subsection (A).
Total estimate$472.75

Chargeable valuation is based on the latest International Code Council (ICC) valuation data, or the actual construction contract price, or a cost estimate approved by the building official.

Estimate only. Confirm with the West Melbourne building department before applying.
