Richmond, TX Permit Fees (2026)

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

Estimates include each permit's general, administration or service fee and the building plan review fee (half the building permit fee). Fire marshal permits, floodplain development permits, driveway permits, water and sewer tap fees and impact fees are not included. Properties inside the West Fort Bend Management District also pay that district's development application fee, which the City collects (its schedule lists $250 for a building permit inside the City); it is not included. Work started without a permit costs extra (the fee schedule lists $75 residential and $250 commercial; the City code says double the permit fee). Commercial projects with an estimated cost of $50,000 or more also need accessibility registration with TDLR, paid to TDLR directly.

In Richmond, a building permit for a remodel runs $115.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $60.00, an HVAC change-out $100.00, an electrical panel upgrade or rewire $35.00, and a whole-house repipe $85.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 200 sq ft remodel area, one system, one item, and a 15-fixture scope. 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.
