How each fee is calculated

Roof replacement

Fee basis: Flat fee.

Project value on this row: low $8,000, typical $12,000, high $22,000.

City of Albuquerque 2024 Uniform Administrative Code Tables 112-A/C/G (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). The official typical path is a Table 112-G residential re-roof permit.

The fee is a flat amount. A permit is required on that typical path.

The low fee is $70, the typical fee is $70, and the high fee is $70. The official typical project value is $12,000.

Listed assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high. Valuation is not an input on this flat path, so those amounts are unused and do not change the $70 / $70 / $70 listed fees.

Table 112-G residential re-roof is Admin $30 + inspection $40. Modifier 1.0. $30 + $40 = $70.

  • Low $8,000: valuation is unused, so the low fee stays $70.

Table 112-G residential re-roof Admin $30 plus inspection $40 equals $70, so the low fee is $70. The low uses the same Table 112-G path as the typical.

Valuation does not change the flat fee.

  • Typical $12,000: valuation is unused, so the typical fee stays $70.

Table 112-G residential re-roof Admin $30 plus inspection $40 equals $70, so the typical fee is $70. The $30 admin and the $40 inspection are included in the $70 and are not added again.

  • High $22,000: valuation is unused, so the high fee stays $70.

The high uses the same Table 112-G path. Table 112-G residential re-roof Admin $30 plus inspection $40 equals $70, so the high fee is $70.

The $70 high is the same total as the $70 typical and is not added on top of it. All re-roofs require a permit (UAC 109.1).

Table 112-G is used instead of Table 112-A; 65% plan review applies to 112-A/112-E, not 112-G. The official Table 112-G extra line is $70 and matches the low fee, the typical fee, and the high fee.

The $70 / $70 / $70 band is the same Table 112-G residential re-roof path on low, typical, and high. Residential R-3 re-roof uses that Table 112-G line; it is not a Table 112-A valuation fee on this row.

This note does not invent a fee beyond the official $70 total.

All re-roofs require a permit (UAC 109.1). Table 112-G is used instead of Table 112-A; 65% plan review applies to 112-A/112-E, not 112-G.
