Notes:
| |
---|---|
1.
|
All heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
flat fee work is only work where no drawings or plans are required
by the Building Code of New York State. When drawings and/or plans
are required, fees will be derived using the area-calculated fee tables,
employing the building occupancy/use-class multiplier.
|
2.
|
All other work which is not subject to no-fee
provisions has area-calculated permit fees derived from Area-Calculated
Fee Schedule A and Use Multiplier Schedule B, below.
|
Area-calculated building permit fees consist
of four charges: a charge associated with application (which is nonrefundable),
a charge associated with plan review (which is nonrefundable), a charge
associated with inspections, and a charge associated with closeout.
The first two charges are collected at application, and together make
up the application fee. The second two charges are collected at permit
issuance, and together make up the permit fee.
| |
Area-calculated fuel devices fees are derived
as follows:
| |
A.
|
For work limited to buildings and structures:
|
Step 1: Identify each use or occupancy on each
floor, story, or mezzanine of the building or structure and calculate
each use's area in square footage. In mixed-use buildings and structures
also identify and calculate the square footage of common areas. Common
areas are deemed to have the same use as that of the principal use
on the floor, story, or mezzanine.
| |
Step 2: Total the sum of all similar uses and
common area to arrive at use square footages. Apply the amounts or
multipliers shown in the following Area-Calculated Fee Table, Schedule
A, Buildings and Structure Section, in each of the three listed categories
(Application, Plan Review, Inspection and Certificate) to those use
square footages, to get a base dollar use value for each use.
| |
Step 3: Total all the base dollar use values
of same uses.
| |
Step 4: Apply the area-calculated use multiplier
from Schedule B to each use total to calculate fees for each use,
including the common areas.
| |
Step 5: Total all use multiplier products to
finalize the total fuel devices permit cost for buildings and structures.
| |
B.
|
For work limited to sites:
|
Step 1: Apply the fuel devices site work flat
fee amount from the flat fee schedule, above.
| |
C.
|
For work on both buildings and structures and
sites:
|
Step 1: Add the total fuel devices permit cost
for buildings and structures and the fuel devices permit cost for
site work to arrive at the total fuel devices permit cost for the
project.

Flat Fee Schedule
| |||
Notes:
| |||
1.
|
All electrical flat-fee work is only work where no drawings
or plans are required by the Building Code of New York State. When
drawings and/or plans are required, fees will be derived using the
Area-Calculated Fee Table, employing the building occupancy/use-class
multiplier.
| ||
2.
|
Flat fees are not applicable for new construction
projects or where plans are required by the Building Code of New York
State, e.g., fire alarm systems.
| ||
3.
|
All other installations which are not subject
to no-fee provisions have area-calculated permit fees derived from
Fee Schedule A and Use Multiplier Schedule B.
| ||
Area-calculated building permit fees consist
of four charges: a charge associated with application (which is nonrefundable),
a charge associated with plan review (which is nonrefundable), a charge
associated with inspections, and a charge associated with closeout.
The first two charges are collected at application, and together make
up the application fee. The second two charges are collected at permit
issuance, and together make up the permit fee.
| |||
Area-calculated fees are derived as follows:
| |||
A.
|
For work limited to buildings and structures:
| ||
Step 1: Identify each use or occupancy on each
floor, story, or mezzanine of the building or structure and calculate
each use's area in square footage. In mixed-use buildings and structures
also identify and calculate the square footage of common areas. Common
areas are deemed to have the same use as that of the principal use
on the floor, story, or mezzanine.
| |||
Step 2: Total the sum of all similar uses and
common area to arrive at use square footages. Apply the amounts or
multipliers shown in the following Area-Calculated Fee Table, Schedule
A, Buildings and Structure section, in each of the three listed categories
(Application, Plan Review, Inspection and Certificate) to those use
square footages, to get a base dollar use value for each use.
| |||
Step 3: Total all the base dollar use values
of same uses.
| |||
Step 4: Apply the area-calculated use multiplier
from Schedule B to each use total to calculate fees for each use,
including the common areas.
| |||
Step 5: Total all use multiplier products to
finalize the total electrical permit cost for buildings and structures.
| |||
B.
|
For work limited to sites:
| ||
Step 1: Apply the electrical site work flat-fee
amount from the Flat Fee Schedule, above.
| |||
C.
|
For work on both buildings and structures and
sites:
| ||
Step 1: Add the total electrical permit cost
for buildings and structures and the electrical permit cost for site
work to arrive at the total electrical permit cost for the project.

Notes:
| |
---|---|
1.
|
All plumbing flat-fee work is only work where
no plans are required by the Building Code of New York State. When
drawings and/or plans are required, fees are derived using the area-calculated
fee tables, employing the building occupancy/use class multiplier.
|
2.
|
All other installations which are not subject
to no-fee provision have area-calculated permit fees derived from
Fee Schedule A and Use Multiplier Schedule B.
|
Area-calculated building permit fees consist
of four charges: a charge associated with application (which is nonrefundable),
a charge associated plan review (which is nonrefundable), a charge
associated with inspections, and a charge associated with closeout.
The first two charges are collected at application, and together make
up the application fee. The second two charges are collected at permit
issuance, and together make up the permit fee.
| |
Area-calculated fees are derived as follows:
| |
A.
|
For work limited to buildings and structures:
|
Step 1: Identify each use or occupancy on each
floor, story, or mezzanine of the building or structure and calculate
each use's area in square footage. In mixed-use buildings and structures
also identify and calculate the square footage of common areas. Common
areas are deemed to have the same use as that of the principal use
on the floor, story, or mezzanine.
| |
Step 2: Total the sum of all similar uses and
common areas to arrive at Use Square Footages. Apply the amounts or
multipliers shown in the following Area-Calculated Fee Table, Schedule
A, Buildings and Structures Section, in each of the three listed categories
(Application, Plan Review, Inspection and Certificate) to those use
square footages, to get a base dollar use value for each use.
| |
Step 3: Total all the base dollar use values
of same uses.
| |
Step 4: Apply the area-calculated use multiplier
from Schedule B to each use total to calculate fees for each use,
including the common areas.
| |
Step 5: Total all use multiplier products to
finalize the total plumbing permit cost for buildings and structures.
| |
B.
|
For work limited to sites:
|
Step 1: Identify and calculate the square footage
of the exterior area(s) serviced by the plumbing storm drainage work
(i.e., the size of the parking lot to be drained).
| |
Step 2: Total the sum of all similar exterior
areas to be serviced by the plumbing storm drainage work. Apply the
amounts or multipliers shown in the following Area-Calculated Fee
Table, Schedule A, Site Work Section, in each of the three listed
categories (Application, Plan Review, Inspection and Certificate)
to those totals to get a total base serviced area value. This is the
permit cost for plumbing storm drainage site work.
| |
C.
|
For work on both buildings and structures and
sites:
|
Step 1: Add the total building permit cost for
buildings and structures and the total building permit cost for site
work to arrive at the total building permit cost for the project.
