Why filed values run low or high

  • Medford records the declared job value on each permit, including stand-alone electrical, mechanical, plumbing, backflow and solar permits, so job size is shown for every trade.
  • The 10 busiest firms usually file $1,200; the 54 firms with fewer than 10 permits usually file $800.
  • Firms working on the most expensive third of homes (usual home value $525,565 and up) usually file $700, against $1,200 for the least expensive third.
  • One permit type covers small and large jobs: 1 in 10 irrigation backflow permits is filed under $410 and 1 in 10 over $1,500, 4 times as much.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Medford building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits on single-family, duplex and cottage homes (the city's TRAKiT permit exports). 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.
