FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Accurate Building Permit Fees & Use Tax Calculator:

Q: What does the OneClick Code Building Permit Fee & Use Tax Calculator do?

The calculator estimates local permit fees and applicable use tax for your project at the specified address, using Authority Having Jurisdiction data and local tax codes.

  • It uses the project’s property address, scope, and valuation inputs to match with jurisdiction-specific fee schedules.
  • It returns line-item permit fee costs plus use tax obligations.

Q: How accurate is the permit fee and sales tax information provided?

Fees are derived from the exact Authority Having Jurisdiction’s published fee schedules and local tax codes and updated regularly. We maintain a database of permit schedules across thousands of jurisdictions. 

Q: Does the permit fee calculator include sales/use tax on materials?

Yes — the tool factors in local use (or sales) tax on project materials, as allowed by your jurisdiction. The calculation reflects the jurisdiction’s city and county use tax as applicable. 

Q: Which inputs do I need to provide to get an accurate permit fee estimate?

You’ll need basic project details plus the address to lock into the jurisdiction context:

  • The project address (street, city, zip code, state)
  • Estimated project valuation (what the project cost is to the homeowner)
  • Size of the roof in r-squares
  • Shingle type and materials cost

Once those are entered, the calculator provides the address’s permit fees and sales tax information.

Q: Can I export or share the permit & tax estimate with clients or insurers?

Yes, once you run an estimate, you can download or email a PDF report that breaks down all line items (jurisdiction details, permit fees, tax). The report is formatted to be insurance claim-ready and your single source of truth for defensible estimates.
