I was in a small town today to get a building permit for a building in a small apartment complex. They wanted $0.50 per s.f. for the building permit -- $4,000. Ouch. Typically it is $700 or $800 in other communties.
It got me thinking about what do other people see as permit fees and are they calculated on s.f. or $$$.
This was upstate NY (very far upstate).
