The high bound is Table B-I at the official $75,000 valuation and is not used for the published low or typical fees. Low $15,000: valuation is not an input on Table B-II, so the low fee stays $296. That path is Table B-II master $181 + 2 additional trades $100 + the technology permit fee of $15. $181 + $100 + $15 = $296, so the low fee is $296.

The Table B-I minimum permit fee of $175 is not binding because $962.79 is higher. Three trades use the additional inspection service fee of $125 per trade, which is 3 × $125 = $375. Add the technology permit fee of $15: $962.79 + $375 + $15 = $1,352.79, so the high fee is $1,352.79. The $1,352.79 high is not added on top of the $396 typical.
