When the proposed work will involve building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work, a single project permit fee shall be computed. The fee will be based on the number of square feet to be built, as in catagories I, II, III, and IV of Table A. Alterations and repairs that involve all four types of work will carry a fee based on the valuation of the work to be done in each trade, accord- ing to category V. of Table A. Separate permits may be issued. Where a Certificate of Occupancy is required for any reason except in direct connection with work done under a building permit, a fee of $25.00 is charged. For fee calculation purposes, the building area includes: (a) Total area under the roof and enclosed walls, The sum of the above area constitutes the building area for permit fee determination and is to be stated on the permit application. VALUATION ESTIMATE The valuation estimate is used to determine the permit fee for remodel- ing and alterations, including swimming pools, fences, etc. It is not used for new construction (building area is used) The dollar value of the proposed work is important to accurately report the total building activity in the City of Euless. It should be your present best estimate of the total market value (all of owner's costs including contractor's overhead and profit) of the proposed construction work (excluding land).
