About each permit
Building Permit Application
The City's own current Fee Schedule confirms a real $20.00 Building Permit Application fee, and its own additional-information column cross-references a separately-filed 'Building Permit Fee schedule' for the variable, labor-and-materials-based portion — a real, confirmed document (Permit_Fee_Schedule_8.14.24_v3_.pdf, current as of 8/14/2024) published by the Inspections & Permits Division. That schedule prices permits under Section 108.2 of the International Building Code 2000 on a tiered table keyed to total project cost, running from $0.00 for a project under $500 up to $433.00 at $100,000, plus $2.50 for each additional $1,000 (or part) above that, with the flat $20.00 application fee charged on top of every permit regardless of project cost.
Sign Permit
The Zoning Ordinance's own Article 1345 requires a sign permit before a sign is constructed, reconstructed, altered, or relocated, and the City's own current Fee Schedule prices that permit directly: $5.00 for a sign under 100 square feet, $10.00 for a sign 100 square feet or larger, each also requiring a Building Permit priced on the cost of labor and materials.
