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 Aurora 2026 Flat Rate Fee Permits (revised 08/2026, Form #A175), retrieved Sep 1, 2026. These totals are a City of Aurora Development Services / Building Division permit.

The city is the City of Aurora, not Denver and not unincorporated Arapahoe/Adams/Douglas. For a single-family residential roof replacement, a permit is required.

The official path is a flat single-family residential roof replacement. The official fee band is $350.00 / $350.00 / $350.00.

Typical project value on this row is $12,000. Assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high.

Walk the typical first. Single family residential roof replacement is $350.00 flat.

The extras line Single family residential roof replacement is $350.00, with note text 2026 flat-rate flyer. Included.

That $350.00 is already inside the $350.00 total and is not added on top. Low and high match that same $350.00 total because the path is flat, so the low fee is $350.00 and the high fee is $350.00.

The $350.00 high is the same total as the $350.00 typical and is not added on top of it. Documented 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,800 sf of roof surface does not change this flat $350.00.

A roof of 1,000 sf, a roof of 1,500 sf, and a roof of 1,800 sf each stay on this flat single-family residential roof replacement, so those sizes do not change the flat $350.00. Roof area and job valuation are not inputs to this listed permit total.

Job valuation does not drive this fee. The assumed valuations of $8,000 and $12,000 and $22,000 still produce $350.00 on this flat path.

The combined roof-and-siding path is not used on this roof-only row. Use tax on materials is separate and is not a permit fee.

This note does not invent a use-tax dollar amount. This note does not invent plan-review add-ons.

This note does not invent technology fees. This note does not invent a fee beyond the official $350.00 total.

The Included. note on that extras line means it is the same $350.00 total, so the page does not add it a second time. A like-for-like single-family residential roof replacement in the City of Aurora stays on this flat $350.00 path.

City of Aurora, not Denver. Use tax on materials is separate and is not a permit fee. Combined roof-and-siding $424 is not used.
