Building Permit Fees in Memphis, TN (2026)

Memphis and Shelby County CCE Permit Fees (1-2 family) (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). No covering-only exemption is on the CCE sheet, so roof replacement uses the 1-2 family alteration/repair line.

The fee is $5 per $1,000 of valuation, minimum $50, maximum $325, and that line is included.

• Typical $12,000: $5 × 12 = $60, which is the typical fee of $60.
• Low $8,000: $5 × 8 = $40, which hits the $50 minimum, so the low fee is $50.
• High $22,000: $5 × 22 = $110, which is the high fee of $110 and stays under the $325 maximum.

At the official assumed valuations of $8,000, $12,000, and $22,000, the $5-per-$1,000 rule produces $40, $60, and $110 before the minimum, and the official fees stay $50, $60, and $110. The official typical project value is $12,000.

Memphis and Shelby County CCE mechanical permit table (2019 schedule still posted Sep 1, 2026) (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). The building-permit PDF does not reprint mechanical dollars, so this row uses the still-posted 2019 CCE mechanical table.

Single-family fees use the minimum contract valuation of $1,000 per ton. M-3.1 is $15 for the first $1,000 and $8 for each additional $1,000, and M-0 issuance is $20.

Those lines are included.

• Low 2-ton: minimum valuation $2,000 → $15 (first $1,000) + $8×1 (one additional $1,000) + $20 issuance = $43, which is the low fee of $43.
• Typical 3-ton: minimum valuation $3,000 → $15 + $8×2 + $20 issuance = $51, which is the typical fee of $51.
• High 5-ton: minimum valuation $5,000 → $15 + $8×4 + $20 issuance = $67, which is the high fee of $67.

The official typical project value is $7,500.

Memphis and Shelby County CCE Permit Fees (1-2 family) (source retrieved Sep 1, 2026). Construction/repair/alteration to decks, spas and similar is a flat $50 on that sheet, and that line is included.

Appendix A ¶10.e matches. At the official assumed valuations of $8,000, $12,000, and $19,200, the fee stays the flat $50.

The official typical project value is $12,000.
