UPCOMING CHANGES TO FEE SCHEDULE

The Springdale City Council has recently approved an updated fee schedule which becomes effective on 1/1/2023. The new Fee Schedule can be viewed here - 1/1/2023 Fee Schedule.


Effective January 1, 2023: Separate electrical permits will no longer be required to be obtained from Inspection Bureau Inc. Electrical permits will be a part of the main building permit issued by The City of Springdale Building Department.

Fees are not required for improvements to 1, 2 & 3 family properties and individual condominium units except for new dwellings and room additions. A penalty fee of $50.00 will be required if work on these properties commences without first acquiring a permit. 

If applicable, the permit fee amounts can be found in the Springdale Building Code. A minimum plan review payment in the amount of ½ of the permit fee but not less than $100.00 will be required to be submitted at the time of application. The balance of the fee will be required prior to issuance of the permit. Plan review fees are non-refundable.

Fees are subject to a State of Ohio Board of Building Standards surcharge in addition to the set permit fees in the amount of: 
  • 3% of the permit fee for all properties except 1, 2 and 3 family properties.
  • 1% of the permit fee for 1,2 and 3 family properties.
