How much does a building permit application cost in Linn County Iowa?

Permit fees are established to offset the cost of administering the building codes including plan review, inspection, inspector vehicles, staff support and record keeping. Building permit fees are calculated based on the valuation of the building or the work (material and labor) involved. In most cases, the building department determines the valuation based on square footage of various components. Calculate permit valuation for a new dwelling for a remodel by entering the square footage for each applicable portion of your project and use the  Building Permit Fee Table to find the permit fee. Permit fees can also be obtained via email or by calling the Building Division at 319-892-5130.
