How these numbers are made

Source: Sacramento County building permits on single-family, duplex and townhouse homes in the unincorporated county (the County's Accela permit layer). 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.

  • 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 Sacramento County file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $16,575 into a price per square foot.
  • How much is the roofing permit fee in Sacramento County?Sacramento County sets permit fees in Sacramento County Code chapter 16.90, Construction Permit Fees (read October 2026). The chapter sets the fee schedule (last amended May 2026); it names no flat fee per trade, so we don't compute one. Ask the permit office for the fee on a job filed at about $16,575, the usual roofing value here.
