Flat fee applied per permit application to cover base intake and core administrative operations. Applies to all permit types/classes; not baked into any listed fee.
FL Building Code Enforcement Surcharge (F.S. 468.631)$105.00
1.5% of the total permit fee subtotal, $2.00 minimum, per F.S. 468.631. Scoped to Permit Type=building only because this schedule's Master Structural (percent_of_value) rules are the ONLY Longwood building rules loaded; the flat Specialty/Activity permit fees for electrical/plumbing/mechanical/roofing already have this surcharge baked in per the source's own note and must not receive it again.
FL Building Code Surcharge (F.S. 553.721)$70.00
1% of the total permit fees, $2.00 minimum, per F.S. 553.721. Scoped to Permit Type=building only — see note on the companion F.S. 468.631 Add-On record for why electrical/plumbing/mechanical/roofing are excluded (surcharge already included in those flat fees).
Total estimate$7,260.41
