About each permit
Commercial Building Permit (Base Fee)
Any new construction or alteration by one of the ten industries this site tracks in Henrico County is charged this base commercial building permit fee by the Department of Building Construction & Inspections: $100.00 plus $7.00 per $1,000.00 or fraction thereof of value over $5,000.00, based on the cost of labor and materials to the owner, as read directly from Henrico Code §6-3(g)(3). Subsections (g)(1) and (g)(2) of the same section set separate, lower rates that apply only to one- and two-family dwellings and their appurtenances, so §6-3(g)(3) is the rate that governs a commercial project in any of the industries this site tracks. This base fee is separate from the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy and Plan Re-Review fees listed separately for this jurisdiction.
Plan Re-Review Fee
Henrico's base Commercial Building Permit fee, listed separately for this jurisdiction, includes two plan reviews. Henrico Code §6-3(k), read directly from the county's own codified ordinance text, charges $25.00 for each additional plan re-review beyond those first two, applicable to any of the ten industries this site tracks submitting construction or remodel plans to the Department of Building Construction & Inspections. This fee is distinct from, and billed in addition to, the base permit fee and the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy fee listed separately for this jurisdiction.
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy Fee
A business in any of the ten industries this site tracks that requests a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy — occupying a building before final inspection and sign-off are complete — pays Henrico's Department of Building Construction & Inspections $25.00 per request or extension, as set directly in Henrico Code §6-3(l). This fee is charged separately from, and in addition to, the base Commercial Building Permit fee and the Plan Re-Review fee, each listed separately for this jurisdiction under the same Chapter 6 authority.
