Why filed values run low or high

  • Only plan-reviewed building permits (new homes, additions, decks, remodels) record a job value, so trade permits show no typical cost.
  • The 10 busiest firms usually file $15,731; the 136 firms with fewer than 10 permits usually file $24,406.
  • Firms working on the most expensive third of homes (usual home value $2,250,000 and up) usually file $35,000, against $24,332 for the least expensive third.
  • One permit type covers small and large jobs: 1 in 10 deck & patio cover permits is filed under $6,800 and 1 in 10 over $295,000, 43 times as much.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Bellevue permits on single-family homes and condo units. The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.

Common questions

  • How many quotes should I get for a deck & patio cover job in Bellevue?At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Bellevue deck & patio cover permits were filed between $12,200 and $77,000, so two ordinary jobs can sit 6.3 times apart and both be normal for Bellevue. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.
  • What range is normal for deck & patio cover jobs in Bellevue?Half of permits were filed between $12,200 and $77,000; 8 in 10 between $6,800 and $295,000. These are approximate, pooled from each firm's own spread.

  • Why is this different from the per-square-foot prices I see online?Online prices are quoted per square foot. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many square feet plus the work around them, and the Bellevue file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $24,360 into a price per square foot.
  • Do bigger houses get bigger bills?In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $35,000, the lower third $24,332. That is firms, not single jobs.
  • Where does this data come from?City of Bellevue permits on single-family homes and condo units, read October 2026. How the records work in Bellevue →
