FL Building Code Surcharge – BCAIB/DBPR (F.S. 468.631)$52.50
See the companion F.S. 553.721 add-on's note: the two statutory permit-fee surcharges (1% + 1.5%, $2 min each) exactly reproduce every printed Surcharge/BCA amount ($4.00/$4.25/$6.25) and Group IV's "2.5%". Loaded 2026-07-19 review, replacing the mis-based 2.5%-of-job-value add-on.
FL Building Code Surcharge – DCA/Florida Building Commission (F.S. 553.721)$35.00
Replaces the 2026-07-19 overnight load's four per-group Surcharge/BCA add-ons (review 2026-07-19). The source's printed per-group surcharge amounts are exactly reproduced by the two FL statutory surcharges computed on the permit fee with $2 minimums each: $75 fee → $2+$2=$4.00; $150 → $2+$2.25=$4.25; $250 → $2.50+$3.75=$6.25; $40 low-voltage → $4.00; Group IV prints the general form "2.5%" (of the permit fee, i.e. this 1% + the 1.5% BCAIB line). Group IV row totals print "Please Contact PDCS", so no value-based total exists. corroborated (not verified) because the PDF prints the amounts but not the statutory basis.
Total estimate$3,587.50

Construction value is the contract price, or the latest ICC valuation table if no contract exists; Group IV work (new construction, additions, alterations) is charged 1% of that value.
