STEP 2 – Find the valuation of the project on page 2, and then add the fees for plan review and construction permit. Determine the Strong Motion Implementation Program (SMIP) fee and add to the total, as follows:
< $5,000 valuation = .50 SMIP; > $5,000 valuation x .00013 (.00028 if over 3 stories) = SMIP
STEP 3 – Review page 3 for miscellaneous plumbing, electrical, and mechanical fees.
Note that a separate permit is required for each independent structure, even though they may be located on the same parcel.
