Permit Fee Calculator Guide

Here is a quick guide to our Permit Fee Calculator and how it works

What is the Permit Fee Calculator?

The Permit Fee Calculator is a tool you can use to calculate estimated permit fees and local use taxes associated with a property. OneClick Code calculates the permit fee based on several factors:

• • Property type: Whether the property is commercial or residential.
  • Estimated total project value: The estimated total project value of what a consumer can expect to pay.
  • Estimated material cost: The estimated material cost of the project.
  • Roof material type: The type of material that is planned to be used on the project. You can choose between 3 different shingle types: 
    • • Dimensional
      • 3 Tab
      • Asphalt
  • Roof size (SQ): The total area/number of squares (SQs) planned to be replaced or repaired for this project.
