How it works

Start an estimate by identifying the kind of work, its construction value and which stage you are paying for. An amount collected when plans are submitted may cover a different part of the application than the final permit charge. Use the declared or assessed value. Schedule A lists a $100 base and $10.50 per $1,000 or part in the higher band. The regional fee is reduced by 10% where the municipality provides inspection administration to offset its administrative fee.

Steps

  1. Find the charges for your project in New Denver Building Permit Guide (PDF). Find the line for your project in the fee schedule. Read the column heading, unit of value and any minimum before doing the calculation.
  2. If the project crosses a fee band, check how the schedule treats the first band and the remaining value. Ask how the office determines construction value if your estimate includes several kinds of work.
