Keystone Heights, FL Permit Fees (2026)

Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Keystone Heights, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.

Clay County's Building Division issues building, roofing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and gas permits for properties inside Keystone Heights city limits and collects the fees on the county's schedule. The City's Public Works Director must first review and approve each application for city zoning; the city publishes no fee for that review. Keystone Heights Code Sec. 15-1 adopts the Clay County Building and Fire Codes by reference. The county's $65 residential zoning review and $10 addressing fee are included in these estimates but may not be charged inside the city, because the city performs zoning review and assigns addresses; confirm with Clay County.
