In Clute, a building permit for a remodel runs $90.00 in permit fees, an HVAC change-out $37.50, an electrical panel upgrade or rewire $37.50, and a whole-house repipe $37.50. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 200 sq ft remodel area and a 200 sq ft job area.
