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

Commercial building and commercial reroof permits over $1,000,000 are not estimated here: the Village's printed base for that band does not follow from the band below it. The Village may also require a deposit toward its actual engineering, legal, recording and other costs on any permit, in an amount the Mayor sets; that deposit is not included.

In Bonney, a building permit for a remodel runs $120.00 in permit fees, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $575.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $575.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $575.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 200 sq ft remodel area. Each figure is that single permit only: a job that combines trades, like a kitchen remodel with electrical and plumbing work, pays each applicable permit.
