Field notes
The homepage describes a workflow built around local fee schedules rather than a single national rate: project valuation, plan review, and applicable surcharges can each affect the total. Sample entries show the number of fee lines, and the site says each location page identifies the schedule’s effective date and when it was last checked. It advises confirming the estimate with the permit office before applying.
