Permit fees are based on the estimated cost of the project (including all material and labor costs). Permits are $25.26 for each $1,000 of estimated cost with an additional fee of $25.00 for a Certificate of Occupancy/Approval as required. If appropriate to your project, the Department of Inspection also collects fees for Zoning, Fire Marshal and Water Pollution Control regarding your permit application. Some of these other departmental fees are variable, therefore, please call the Department of Inspection at 203-574-6832 to determine the exact fees for your project. Please pay for your permit using check or money order made out to the City of Waterbury in the exact amount of your permit fee.
