General Information for permit fees for Smyth County:
•State Tax: A levy is added
to the building permit as set by the State. All building permit fees will be rounded to the nearest dollar before the levy is computed.
Current state levy is 2.00% (.02).
•Refund Policy: A building permit fee will be refunded at the request of the owner if the permit
is not used. However, a refund must be requested within 12 months of the date the permit is issued, and $25.00 will be forfeited to
defray administrative costs in issuing the permit.
A refund may also be requested on a discontinued project, but the building inspection
department reserves the right to withhold an amount to defray the expenses of all inspections that were made plus $25.00 for the
administrative costs involved in writing the permit.
•Renewing Permit: If six months elapse between requests for an inspection, the
owner may request a six-month extension of the building permit. However, after a twelve month period
elapses, the owner must pay the
minimum permit fee to renew the original permit for another twelve months. Permits more than thirty-six months old cannot be renewed,
and the applicant
shall purchase a new permit for the portion of the work that has not been completed.
•Partial Permits: If an
owner or contractor requests permission to obtain a permit on part of a project, the entire fee shall be paid with the first partial permit
and ensuing permits will be issued
without charge. If the owner or contractor requests separate permits to be issued to the general
contractor and subcontractors, the entire building permit fee shall be paid with the general
contractor’s permit.
