BUILDING VALUATION DATA
Calculated from ICC work sheet
Permit fee multiplier calculations:
Building department operating budget (2006-2007) - $78,641.00
Permit fees collected (2006-2007) - $66,064.94
84.0% of department operating budget generated by permit fees.
$78,641.00 (budget) X 100% of generated permit fees = 0.005925
$13,272,313.58 estimated cost of construction (2006-2007)
Permit fee multiplier = 0.005925 ($5.93 increased 10% for inflation = $6.00 per thousand of estimated cost of construction).
Permit fee calculations:
Total square footage X square foot of construction cost (ICC table) X permit fee multiplier (0.0060) = Permit fee.
