#### Fee Formula

Total Fee = Base Permit Fee + Plan Examination Fee + Work-Type Surcharge + NYS Surcharge + Expedite Fee

Base Permit Fee (tiered on job cost):

Plan Examination Fee: Standard filing = 25% of base fee (min $100); Professional Certification = $0

Work-Type Surcharges: New Installation = 5% of base fee; Temporary Service = $150 flat; Solar PV = $200 flat; EV Charging = $175 flat; Alteration = $0

NYS Education Dept. Surcharge: 1% of base permit fee

Expedite Surcharge: $280 flat (optional)

Minimum Total Fee: $100
