How each fee is calculated

Roof replacement

Fee basis: Based on project value.

Project value for the formula: low $8,000, typical $12,000, high $22,000.

City of Phoenix PDD Fee Schedule, Ordinance G-7465, Table A (source retrieved Oct 18, 2026). Table A sets the building permit from the project valuation.

For a residential valuation of $50,000 or less, plan review is 100% of that permit fee, minimum $195, when valuation > $5,000, and it is included in the totals. Listed assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high.

Each is over $5,000 and at or under $50,000, so the 100% plan review is in the low, the typical, and the high. The $1,001 to $10,000 line is $195 on the first $1,000 plus $12 for each additional $1,000, or fraction of $1,000.

  • Low $8,000 is in that band: $195 on the first $1,000, plus 7 times $12 = $84, so the building permit portion is $279.

Plan review is 100% of $279, and $279 is above the $195 minimum, so plan review is $279. $279 + $279 = $558.

  • Low $8,000 = $558 total.

The $10,001 to $50,000 line is $303 on the first $10,000 plus $10 for each additional $1,000, or fraction of $1,000.

  • Typical $12,000: building permit portion $323 + plan review $323 (100% of the permit fee) = $646.

That building portion is $303 plus 2 times $10 = $20, so $303 + $20 = $323. The official plan review extra is that $323, and it is included in the totals, so it is not added again.

  • High $22,000 uses the same line.

The amount over $10,000 is $12,000, which is 12 times $10 = $120, so the building permit portion is $303 + $120 = $423. Plan review is 100% of $423, above the $195 minimum, so plan review is $423. $423 + $423 = $846. high $22,000 = $846 total.

The $195 minimum would apply only when 100% of the building permit fee is under $195. From $5,001 through $6,000, Table A is $195 plus 5 times $12 = $255, which is already above $195, so the floor does not raise that step or the official totals.

Those building portions are $279, $323, and $423. Phoenix bundles trades into one building permit.

HVAC replacement

Fee basis: Based on project value.

Project value for the formula: low $5,000, typical $7,500, high $16,000.

City of Phoenix PDD Fee Schedule, Ordinance G-7465, Table A (source retrieved Oct 18, 2026). Table A sets the building permit from the project valuation.

Residential ≤$50k: plan review is 100% of the permit fee, minimum $195, when valuation > $5,000, and it is included in the totals. Listed assumed valuations are $5,000 low, $7,500 typical, and $16,000 high.

The typical and the high are over $5,000 and at or under $50,000, so the 100% plan review is in the typical and the high. The low is exactly $5,000, so plan review does not add a separate listed dollar on that band.

The $1,001 to $10,000 line is $195 on the first $1,000 plus $12 for each additional $1,000, or fraction of $1,000.

  • Low $5,000 is in that band: $195 on the first $1,000, plus 4 times $12 = $48, so the building permit portion is $243.

Because valuation is not over $5,000, no separate plan-review dollar is listed and the total stays $243.

  • Low $5,000 = $243 total.
  • Typical $7,500 uses the same line: $195 on the first $1,000, plus 7 times $12 = $84, so the building permit portion is $279.

Plan review is 100% of $279, and $279 is above the $195 minimum, so plan review is $279. $279 + $279 = $558.

  • Typical $7,500: building permit portion $279 + plan review $279 (100% of the permit fee) = $558.

The official plan review extra is that $279, and it is included in the totals, so it is not added again. The $10,001 to $50,000 line is $303 on the first $10,000 plus $10 for each additional $1,000, or fraction of $1,000.

  • High $16,000 uses that line.

The amount over $10,000 is $6,000, which is 6 times $10 = $60, so the building permit portion is $303 + $60 = $363. Plan review is 100% of $363, above the $195 minimum, so plan review is $363. $363 + $363 = $726. high $16,000 = $726 total.

The $195 minimum would apply only when 100% of the building permit fee is under $195. From $5,001 through $6,000, Table A is $195 plus 5 times $12 = $255, which is already above $195, so the floor does not raise that step or the official totals.

Those building portions are $243, $279, and $363. Same Table A as other building work; no separate mechanical permit in the PDD schedule for a standard replacement.

  • High $19,200 uses the same line.

The amount over $10,000 is $9,200, which is 10 times $10 = $100 counting each fraction of $1,000, so the building permit portion is $303 + $100 = $403. Plan review is 100% of $403, above the $195 minimum, so plan review is $403. $403 + $403 = $806. high $19,200 = $806 total.

Kitchen remodel

Fee basis: Based on project value.

Project value for the formula: low $15,000, typical $35,000, high $75,000.

City of Phoenix PDD Fee Schedule, Ordinance G-7465, Table A (source retrieved Oct 18, 2026). Table A sets the building permit from the project valuation.

Residential ≤$50k: plan review is 100% of the permit fee, minimum $195, when valuation > $5,000, and it is included in the totals. Listed assumed valuations are $15,000 low, $35,000 typical, and $75,000 high.

The low and the typical are over $5,000 and at or under $50,000, so the 100% plan review is in the low and the typical. The high is over $50,000.

For a residential valuation over $50,000, plan review is 80% of the permit fee, minimum $195, when valuation > $5,000, and that review is included in the official high. The $10,001 to $50,000 line is $303 on the first $10,000 plus $10 for each additional $1,000, or fraction of $1,000.

  • Low $15,000 is in that band: $303 on the first $10,000, plus 5 times $10 = $50, so the building permit portion is $353.

Plan review is 100% of $353, and $353 is above the $195 minimum, so plan review is $353. $353 + $353 = $706.

  • Low $15,000 = $706 total.
  • Typical $35,000: building permit portion $553 + plan review $553 (100% of the permit fee) = $1,106.

That building portion is $303 plus 25 times $10 = $250, so $303 + $250 = $553. The official plan review extra is that $553, and it is included in the totals, so it is not added again.

The $50,001 to $200,000 line is $703 on the first $50,000 plus $9 for each additional $1,000, or fraction of $1,000.

  • High $75,000 uses that line.

The amount over $50,000 is $25,000, which is 25 times $9 = $225, so the building permit portion is $703 + $225 = $928. Plan review is 80% of $928, which is $742.40, and $742.40 is above the $195 minimum. $928 + $742.40 = $1,670.40. high $75,000 = $1,670.40 total.

The $195 minimum would apply only when the plan-review share of the building permit fee is under $195. At the official bands those plan-review dollars are $353, $553, and $742.40, all above $195, so the floor does not raise the official totals.
