Ormond Beach building permit cost
Ormond Beach links its building fees from the city's Schedule of Fees page to Ordinance 2026-16. That ordinance drops project valuation as the basis for fees and uses the actual costs of permit administration, plan review and inspections instead. All permit invoices come only through the Tyler permitting system; the city never asks for payment by wire transfer.
