Sopchoppy, FL Permit Fees (2026)

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

Wakulla County issues and inspects building permits inside Sopchoppy city limits and charges its Resolution 13-61 fees, so the county schedule applies here. The city's council minutes record that the county administers city permits, the city approved a county-city services agreement covering building codes in 2018, and the city books no building permit revenue of its own. The city code still has 2007 sections for a city building official and a city permit fee list, but the city has not used them since at least 2014. Before applying to the county, get a city development permit from Sopchoppy City Hall; the city's development permit and zoning fees (Ordinance 2018-02) are not published and are not included here.
