Mechanical Permits

Mechanical appliances, equipment and systems shall be constructed, installed and maintained in accordance with the International Mechanical Code 2009.

Only a licensed sheet metal worker is allowed to apply for a mechanical permit, as well as perform work on a mechanical system. Mechanical fees are based on the cost of the job, materials and labor. Prices are calculated per thousand, and always rounded up to the nearest thousand. The first thousand is $22 with $7 for each additional thousand. Fees for electrical work done in conjunction with a mechanical permit shall be included with the mechanical permit fee. Such fee shall be 35% of the permit fee or $45, whichever is greater. All fees are dollar based amounts and should not include coin value.

If a mechanical permit is applied for in conjunction with a building permit where the scope of work is new construction (i.e. New house or addition), the fee will be $22 per fixture and will be charged on the building permit application. A mechanical permit will still need to be obtained, but there will be no additional cost.

Note: A charge of $15 will be applied for any duplicate permit requested

Issued Permit cards are discarded after two months. Please pick up your permit within that time frame or provide a self-addressed and stamped envelope with your application so that it may be mailed.
