Yes, there are typically fees associated with obtaining a permit. The cost of the permit will vary depending on the location, the size and scope of the project, and the type of permit required.
In most cases, the fees for permits are based on the value of the construction work being done, and are calculated as a percentage of the total construction cost. For example, if the construction cost for a project is $100,000, and the permit fee is 1%, then the permit fee would be $1,000.
