Joe: You bring up permit fees. We charge about $10,000 for an average house. If you added up the time for the plan review and the inspections (total) and they added up to less than an hour like your guy, that would mean that the city is charging $1,000 per hour. Hell, thats more than even you make!!!! ;P Really though, how is a permit fee justified when this type of work is being performed?
