Fees and Fee Schedules

When you obtain a building permit, your fees cover the cost of:

• A review of submitted plans by one of our staff 
• On-site inspections during construction
• Capital improvements in your neighborhood and the surrounding area

Permit fees vary depending on the type and complexity of the work performed. Large commercial projects involve more plan review and inspections; smaller projects and residential work typically have less to review and fewer inspections, resulting in lower permit costs. 

When you apply for your permit, review fees and deferred submittal fees are due.  Review fees often include both a plan review fee and a fire, life, and safety review fee.

If you have any questions, please contact us and we will be glad to assist you.

Refund Policy

Development fees paid to the City of Tualatin are non-refundable with the exception of permit fees. Requests for permit fee refunds must be made prior to any inspections. No permit fee refunds will be issued once an inspection has been completed.
