Why filed values run low or high

  • Bend records one project value per application, so a typical cost is shown only for new homes, additions, remodels and decks.
  • The 10 busiest firms usually file $100,945; the 108 firms with fewer than 10 permits usually file $105,512.
  • Firms working on the most expensive third of homes (usual home value $1,079,320 and up) usually file $100,000, against $103,925 for the least expensive third.
  • One permit type covers small and large jobs: 1 in 10 addition permits is filed under $24,900 and 1 in 10 over $287,000, 12 times as much.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Bend building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits on homes. 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.
