Fee schedule

Demolition Permit FeeThe Demolition Permit Application states 'Fee is based on the most recent adopted fee schedule.' The Fee Schedule's Table 3 ('Building Permit — Other Work') applies a valuation-based fee (Table 3-A) using 'the contractor's total estimate (labor, materials, overhead, and all other associated costs)' to determine the cost of work, which by its general terms would appear to cover demolition, but no demolition-specific line item or example calculation is separately published — confirm the exact assessed fee with the Building Department, (208) 245-2577, before budgeting.
