<br />- Plan Review = 50% of permit fee for Longmont, 65% of permit fee for all other jurisdictions.
<br />-Boulder County also includes a technology fee of $10 for permit with valuation less than $25K and $50 for permit with
<br />valuation equal to or greater than $25K.
<br />' Boulder County includes three categories for valuations between $100,000 and $1,000,000 - broken out at $100,000.01 to
<br />$200,000; $200,000.01 to $500,000; and $500,000.01 to $1,000,000.
<br />Because of the complex structure of the fee schedules, it is difficult to clearly understand
<br />how each fee schedule compares. To help understand how fees differ, Table 4 below
<br />provides the estimated combined permit and plan review fees from each jurisdiction
<br />based on average valuations for:
<br />• A single trade plumbing project - $7,500 valuation
<br />• A residential remodel/addition - $34,600 valuation
<br />• A new single family residence - $399,000 valuation
<br />• A new multifamily residential building - $2,640,500 valuation
<br />• A commercial addition - $532,500 valuation
<br />• A new commercial building - $3,995,900 valuation
