Fee Schedule
Construction Costs
Construction costs for all new buildings and structures will be determined from values as listed in the most current ICC Building Valuation Data Report. ICC Building Valuation Data is updated every six months. The permit fee is based on the entire "Estimated Cost of Construction." Proof of costs is a signed contract.
Permits Fees
Please note that there will be some fee changes on July 1, 2021.
Permit holders retain rights granted under the permit therefore no permits are transferable. For all permits (building, gas, plumbing or wiring) there will be a charge of fifty dollars ($50.00) for every re-inspection necessitated by the faulty or illegal installation or not in conformance with requirements of Massachusetts codes. The fee shall be made before any re-inspection is scheduled. Any work started before applying for and obtaining a permit in violation of state code, will be charged two (2) times the permit fee.
