How Tequesta values a job: For new construction and additions, Tequesta sets permit valuation from gross square footage times the current ICC Building Valuation Data cost per square foot (Florida Building Code Section 109.3.4); for remodel, trade, and roofing work the Building Official sets the valuation. This estimate applies the rate to the job value you enter, so if your contract price exceeds the ICC table value the actual fee will be lower.
