For the purposes of calculating building permit fees, the building construction value shall be determined based upon the finished and unfinished square footage under roof using the construction cost information listed in the most recent version of the Building Valuation Data published by Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI).

Building permits are required on all construction unless exempted by N.C. General Statute 160A-417 as follows:

• Permits are not required on single family residential projects costing less than $5,000 if all of the following conditions are met: The work does not involve load bearing members and the project does not require a change in the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems.

On "Fast Track" or other projects, where incremental permits are issued, fees shall be calculated at 110% of the normal fee.
