§ 16.28.120. Valuations—Computations.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    New Building or Structures and Additions. For the purpose of determining permit fees only for new buildings or structures and additions, valuations will be computed by using the "cost-per-square foot" figures as shown in the Building Valuation Data, as published by the International Code Council. The value is based on construction type, occupancy group, the building area and without use of a regional modifier. "Valuation" means total cost of all structures which includes structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical system and other systems, interior finish, normal site preparation (excavation and backfill for building), architectural and design fees, overhead and profit, but excluding land cost.

    B.

    Remodeling Existing Buildings or Structures. For the purpose of determining permit fees, the "valuation" means the total cost of the project(s) including the cost of materials (including those supplied by owners), interior/exterior finishes, architectural and design fees, labor, overhead, profit, including all plumbing, electrical, mechanical and other systems.
