Fee schedule

City of Kellogg building permit fee (structural/valuation-based)Per Kellogg City Code § 4-1-12 (Fees For Building Permits And Associated Services), current through Ord. 642 (11-12-2025): 'Fees for building permits and related building department services shall be set by resolution of the Kellogg city council' (enabling ordinance: Ord. 481, 12-11-2002; the plan-check fee is likewise reserved to council resolution under City Code § 4-1-1.A.1, Ord. 593/616). No separate fee-schedule resolution document is published on the city's website, in the council agendas/minutes indexed at kellogg.id.gov/meetings/, or elsewhere online as of 2026-07-23 — confirmed by retrieving the live, JS-rendered code chapter text via the Browser pane (the prior chase had only reached the static, unrendered shell) and by web search; a similarly-named 'Building Permits' page at cityofkellogg.org (which quotes a flat $100 fee) is a distinct jurisdiction, Kellogg, Minnesota, and does not apply here. Call the Building Department at (208) 786-9131 for the current council-set fee.
