What each job was filed at
"Usual" is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. "Middle half of firms" takes every firm with three or more permits in the trade, finds each firm's usual job, and shows the band the middle 50% of firms sit in; it is the number to hold a quote against. A dash (—) means we don't show that figure: in the firms column, fewer than eight firms had three or more permits, so there is no band; in the days column, too few permits of that type carry a final-inspection date to give a usual figure.
| Job | Usual filed value | Middle half of firms | Permits (share priced) | Usual days to final | Pages |

Electrical, EV charger, HVAC, plumbing and water-heater permits have compare pages but no cost page: Anaheim records no job value on them (0.0% of 1,415 HVAC permits carry one). The pool row includes pool removals, which pulls its usual figure down.
What moves the price in Anaheim
The home. We don't have home values for Anaheim, so its cost pages don't split firms by the homes they work on.
The firm. Each cost page compares the ten busiest firms with the firms that filed fewer than ten permits:
| Job | Ten busiest firms usually file | Firms with fewer than ten permits usually file |
|---|---|---|
| Pool, spa & pool removal | $4,000 | $22,250 (84 firms) |
| Patio cover | $14,500 | $8,460 (80 firms) |
| ADU | $130,000 | $95,000 (185 firms) |
| Windows & doors | $5,300 | $8,662 (38 firms) |
| Remodel & repair | $20,000 | $15,000 (391 firms) |
| Roof replacement | $14,500 | $14,000 (528 firms) |
Figures from each cost page, data of 1 October 2026. In pools the busiest firms are mostly filing removals; in roofing and solar, big and small firms file about the same.
The season. Roofing permits peak in August (index 116, where 100 is an average month) and are fewest in December (78). We have no prices by month, so this is about crews' calendars, not discounts.
Filed value is not the price
- It is what the applicant wrote down. Some contractors write the contract price, some the permitted part only.
- Mixed permit types. Pools include removals and solar includes batteries; read the permits on the compare page before holding a quote against the usual figure.
- Trade permits carry no value. HVAC, electrical, plumbing and EV-charger permits are unpriced here.
- Fees. We could not read Anaheim's residential building fee schedule for this guide: the City document we reached on 23 October 2026 was the sign-permit application, which refers to a fee resolution we could not open. So we don't quote permit fees; the City's Building Division publishes them.
Check a quote in five minutes
- Find your job in the table and open its cost page.
- Put your quote against the "middle half of firms" band. Inside it is normal here; above it, ask what the extra covers.
- Open compare firms, find the contractor, and read its usual filed value, permit count and finished share.
- Ask whether the price includes the permit fee and the final inspection; the usual ADU permit here took 307 days to reach final.

How we know this
Every row is a permit type with a cost page: the City of Anaheim issued at least 100 priced permits of it in the window 2023-10 to 2026-09, making up at least 80% of the type. Usual = median of the permits that carry a value; middle half of firms = 25th to 75th percentile of the usual value of firms with three or more permits in the trade (shown when at least eight firms qualify); days = median from permit issue to final inspection. Busiest-firm figures are copied from each job's cost page and dated. No fee schedule was quoted.
Numbers come from City of Anaheim Accela building permits on single-family homes and ADUs, data through October 1, 2026. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can.
