Plan Review & Permit fees are based on the value placed in the "valuation" field. Valuation is
considered the standard cost of labor and materials.

When a trade permit is required in conjunction with a building permit, the overall project valuation
and associated permits will be assessed at the overall project valuation (building, mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing permits will all be assigned with the same valuation).

City staff may alter the valuation based on their review of the scope.

plan check is complete, and before the permit can be issued.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

You do not need to fill this section out if you are applying for a permit as an "owner-builder." (Owner-Builder projects are only
applicable for owner-occupied single family residences or owner-occupied condos [interior work]).

When you sign a building permit application as an owner-builder, you assume full responsibility for all phases of your project and its
integrity.

An owner-builder is a person who owns the property and acts as their own general contractor on the job, and either does the work
themselves or has employees (or subcontractors) working on the project. The work site must be your primary residence that you
have occupied for 12 months prior to completion of the work. The homeowner cannot construct and then sell more than two
structures during any three-year period.
