Sewer and Water Permit Fees

updated: Wednesday, December 21, 2011

The cost of a permit is based on the type and amount of work to be done.

$73.00 + 5.00= $78.00 to repair or replace a single sewer service or a single water service for a single family dwelling
OR
$45.00 plus 1.75 percent of the jobs value, plus the state surcharge

  • State surcharge is .0005 times the job valuation. Call the Inspections Department at (952) 924-2588 for state surcharges on all permits valued $1 million or more.
  • When applicable, a plan review charge equal to 35 percent of the electrical permit fee will be added.

Note: Additional fees may be necessary if working in the City right-of-way. In this case, a separate Public Works Permit must be submitted with the Sewer and Water Permit application. Call the Inspections Department at (952) 924-2588 for fees.
