Fee schedule
Assessed on project valuation per Draper's building permit fee schedule: Draper Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 26-29 (Jul 2026), item 44. Show full citationHide
Assessed on project valuation per Draper's building permit fee schedule: Draper Consolidated Fee Schedule, Resolution 26-29 (Jul 2026), item 44. Decks are processed as a building permit (100% ICC Schedule); Draper's permit-type list carries no separate 'Deck' category, so a deck falls under the standard Building/New Building or Accessory Building permit type depending on attachment, per Draper's Applications/Licenses/Permits list. The older Resolution 25-52 (Oct 2025) PDF link no longer resolves; Resolution 26-29 replaced it at the same media URL with identical fee figures.Review timeline
