Building Permit Application Fee	$50.00 flat, due upon submission of all building permit applications	Credited/deducted from the total building permit fee once valuation and fees are calculated by the Building Official — City of Greenleaf Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution #223 'Exhibit A' (adopted 09/02/2025, effective 10/01/2025), 'Building Permit Fees' section
