What PermitPrice does

  • Publishes per-jurisdiction permit fee formulas, not "approximate ranges".
  • Cites the source fee schedule for every figure.
  • Runs in-browser calculators that reproduce each jurisdiction's official math.
  • Discloses estimate assumptions and source-age limits on the page itself.

Coverage scope

U.S. residential permits - one- and two-family construction. Live jurisdictions include seven Virginia counties and cities plus Washington, D.C. See Coverage for the current list and Site Map for the full page index.
