How each fee is calculated

Roof replacement

Fee basis: Not listed yet.

Published city minimum: permit $150 + technology fee $25 = $175. That sum is the official low fee and the official typical fee for a roof replacement in Atlanta: the low fee of $175 and the typical fee of $175.

The extra named Minimum permit fee is $150 and is included at low and typical. The extra named Technology fee is a flat $25 included at low and typical; it is part of the published $175 floor (ATL311), and the same $25 applies at both listed bands.

Those two lines are the official $175. They come from the City of Atlanta ATL311 residential construction permits knowledge article (Office of Buildings), KB0012509, modified May 20, 2026.

Alternate path not used in listed totals: valuation-based fees above the published minimum may apply under Code of Ordinances Part 19, but a complete extractable fee table was not obtained, so amounts above $175 are not listed and are not included in totals.

The extra named Valuation-based fee above the published minimum (Code of Ordinances Part 19) has no published amount and is not included in the totals. Before filing, confirm current fees with ATL311 and the Office of Buildings.
