City of Riverside Building and Safety Fees (effective July 1, 2026), retrieved Oct 7, 2026. These totals are for the City of Riverside, not Riverside County or neighboring cities.
A tear-off and re-roof uses an area-based schedule, and a permit is required. The official fee band is $183.26 low, $212.28 typical, and $242.08 high.
The official typical project value is $12,000. Listed assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high.
Roof area, not job valuation, drives most of the fee. Valuation only moves SMIP and CA Building Standards.
The reroof line is $61.50 + $61.50 for the first 1,000 sf ($123.00), plus $12.50 + $12.50 ($25.00) per additional 500 sf or portion. Permit issuance is $41.
General Plan Maintenance (GPM) is 10% of the reroof line. The technology fee is 4% of the reroof line.
SMIP is 0.00013 x valuation. CA Building Standards (CBSC) is $1 per $25,000 of valuation or portion.
Walk the typical first. At 1,500 sf and $12,000, one extra 500 sf portion makes the reroof line $148.00.
GPM 10% of $148.00 is $14.80. Technology 4% of $148.00 is $5.92.
SMIP 0.00013 x $12,000 is $1.56. CBSC is $1.
So reroof $148.00 + issuance $41 + GPM $14.80 + tech $5.92 + SMIP $1.56 + CBSC $1 = $212.28.
- Low 1,000 sf and $8,000: reroof $61.50 + $61.50 = $123.00, with no added portion.
GPM 10% is $12.30. Technology 4% is $4.92.
SMIP 0.00013 x $8,000 is $1.04. CBSC is $1.
So reroof $123.00 + issuance $41 + GPM $12.30 + tech $4.92 + SMIP $1.04 + CBSC $1 = $183.26.
- High 1,800 sf and $22,000: the 800 sf above 1,000 counts as two 500-sf portions, so reroof $123.00 + $25.00 + $25.00 = $173.00.
GPM 10% is $17.30. Technology 4% is $6.92.
SMIP 0.00013 x $22,000 is $2.86. CBSC is $1, still one $25,000 portion.
So reroof $173.00 + issuance $41 + GPM $17.30 + tech $6.92 + SMIP $2.86 + CBSC $1 = $242.08. The $242.08 high is not added on top of the $212.28 typical.
Documented 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,800 sf are the official rows. The overlay path at $103 is not used.
