Permit Fees

Structural Permit Fees
Building permit fees are determined based on the project valuation for material and labor.  Please be aware that the Building Safety Department also assesses a calculated value, which may be used in lieu of the applicant's value.  To verify the valuation that will be used for your project please contact the Building Safety Department at (541) 774-2350.

A current fee schedule for Building Safety permit fees can be found in Chapter 9, 9.27, of the Medford Municipal Code.
