Building plan review and permit fees are based on the type and value of the construction work. Most building permit fees are established by the State of Oregon, with administrative fees set by the City of Eugene. Fees are determined based on the valuation of the work and on the specific items of work being proposed.
Valuation is the term for the anticipated market value of the proposed construction project.
Planning fees are charged for site reviews, conditional use permits, land division and zoning changes. Planning fees are also charged for historic and miscellaneous reviews provided through the Planning Division. Most construction which does not involve a major zoning change, and is proposed on an existing lot, will not require land use reviews or fees. The City accepts cash, checks or credit cards for payment of charges. We are unable to give fee estimates for projects because of the complexity of each project.
