If your estimated construction cost exceeds $100,000, your fee is $250 PLUS $2 for each $1,000 in additional estimated construction costs. The fee cannot exceed $15,000.
Example: My construction costs are $250,000. $250,000 - $100,000 = $150,000 in additional estimated construction costs. $150,000 / $1,000 = 150 x $2 = $300. My permit fee will be $250 + $300 = $550.
Building Permits are Valid for 180 days after approved, you can contact the Code Enforcement Officer for an extension of 180 Days. After this period, if no work has begun, a new permit and fee will have to be completed and paid.
If you are not sure how much you owe, please contact Denton Trotter, Code Enforcement Officer, at Code.Enforcement@LincolnMaine.Org or 207-403-3306.
