Fee Information

The City of Albuquerque Fee Schedule utilizes the ICC Building Valuation Data to determine the minimum value per square foot, for newly constructed buildings. If the valuation provided on the application is less than the valuation in the fee schedule adopted by the City, your permit fees will be based upon the City Fee Schedule. All valuation adjustments are computed as part of the plan review process.

Payment Timeline

• Plan Review fees are due at the time you submit your application and plans.
• Permit fees are due once you are notified the Plan Review has been completed and plans have been approved.
• Any project under construction or completely built without a permit may be charged a double permit fee.
