Chapter 15.65
BUILDING PERMIT FEES

Sections:

15.65.010    Building permit fee table.

15.65.020    Alternate building valuation fee schedule.

15.65.010 Building permit fee table.

Since the International Building Code and International Residential Code, 2000 Editions, do not include building permit fee tables, Table 1-A from the Uniform Building Code Book, Volume 1, 1997 Edition, is therefore adopted and shall serve as the official minimum building permit fee table for all Huachuca City building permits. Otherwise, the cost estimate provided by the architect, engineer, contractor or other person(s) qualified to provide an accurate estimate of the construction cost will be used, whichever is greater.
