Tips
- Per the Town of Camp Verde Community Development Department's published Building Division process flow chart, Commercial Projects are reviewed in 35-44 business days for the first review — the longest track of any permit category, consistent with the general permits page's broader 'Commercial: 4-8 weeks' estimate.
- Additional reviews (if the first is not approved) take 7-30 business days each per the flow chart, same as other permit categories.
- Commercial tenant improvement valuation is based on the licensed contractor's bid price rather than the ICC valuation table used for new construction — get a firm bid before applying for the most accurate fee estimate. Contractor
- A Fire Marshal Review Fee is added on top of many commercial fee categories (Development Standards Review, Use Permits, etc.) — budget for this as a separate line item not captured in the base Building Permit Fee table.
