Tips

  • Standalone residential wiring is billed by square footage of enclosed living area, not project valuation — a different calculation basis than the general Building Permit Fee schedule.
  • Service hookups and modular home connections are billed on dollar valuation of the electrical work itself, following a separate valuation table from both the residential-square-footage table and the general Building Permit Fee table.
