How much does a property improvement permit cost?

City Use Tax is paid through the Property Improvement Permit. It is assessed based on 3.8% of the cost of materials, not including labor. If there are plans to be reviewed by the Planning Department, there will be an additional Plan Review Fees based on the type of request and level of review required (range: $30.00 to $175.00). Furthermore, if the Fire Department needs to review the plans, there will also be a $132.00 Fire Department Plan Review Fee for residential improvement plans or a $330.00 Fire Department Plan Review Fee for commercial improvement plans.
