Fees and Valuation
Accurate estimation of fees must take into account many factors specific to individual projects and can change as projects are modified during construction. Fees calculated using the information online are rough estimates and are not to be considered final.
Please contact Building Support for assistance in estimating your fees. Staff do not recommend estimating fees on complex projects without assistance , since many project variables can affect fees.
Mitigation fees and hourly change order fees will be calculated during permit review and are not included in the Fee Estimator spreadsheet.
