How much should I expect to pay?

For most construction projects, you could expect to spend about 2% of your building costs on plan checks, permits, inspections, and other agency fees.

Notes:

  • Any fees calculated should be considered as an approximation of the actual project fees. The scope of the project will be the determining factor as to what fees are applicable. To obtain a more accurate estimate, please visit the Development Permit Center.
