Tips

  • Standalone residential electrical permits use a formula fee ($88 flat up to $2,000 valuation, then $9/$1,000 plus $88 above that) — a different structure than the general Table-based Building Permit Fee Schedule used for new construction and additions.
  • The Town's own worked example: a $3,500 electrical job carries a $106.00 permit fee, $68.90 plan review fee (65%), plus a use-tax fee, totaling $244.90.
