A note on these figures from the official schedule. Details
The City's online fee estimator computes commercial permits at 6.5% of construction value, which is much higher than the adopted valuation table shown here, so confirm commercial fees with the City. The $2,200 residential permit is the City's printed home permit fee; the schedule prints no separate remodel or addition fee, so confirm what a remodel is charged. The $1,000 commercial retainer is a deposit toward third-party plan review costs; the City bills actual costs against it and refunds any remainder. Work started without a permit is charged double. The schedule prints no fee for a residential reroof and the City's portal lists a roof permit only for commercial work, so ask the City whether a home reroof needs a permit.
In Josephine, a building permit for a $50,000 remodel runs $2,200.00 in permit fees, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $100.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $100.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $100.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees. 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.
