How much does a permit cost, and when do I pay for it?

Permit costs are based on the value of the job being done. The basic permit fee is $100 or 1.75% of the value of the job, whichever is greater. Additional fees may be added for electrical and plumbing work, plan reviews, and parkway deposits. Since permit fees are not determined until after the permit is approved, permits must be paid for upon pickup and not before. The full list of fees can be found here.
