We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new tool designed to assist production home builders and those involved in new, ground-up construction of commercial, industrial, and multi-unit buildings: the City of Brighton Building Permit Fee Calculator!  Developers can choose the calculator that best suits their project be it residential, nonresidential, or affordable housing.  This innovative tool allows you to calculate your building fees in advance of your permit submittal, providing numerous benefits, including:

1. Efficiency: Save time by having all the necessary fee information upfront by filling just a few required fields.
2. Accuracy: Avoid human error with calculations that are performed automatically using the information provided by the developer.
3. Transparency: Gain a clear understanding of the fees associated with your project before you submit your permit application with the ability to review and verify the performed calculations.
4. Uniformity: Have a centralized and publicly available solution that is dynamically updated by City personnel if fee rates change. 
5. Budget Planning: Accurately plan your project budget with detailed fee calculations, helping you avoid unexpected costs.

We believe this tool will make the site evaluation, entitlement, and building processes smoother and more predictable, ultimately benefiting our entire community by fostering efficient and well-planned development.

The calculator for each development type can be found on the City of Brighton's Development Services website: https://www.brightonco.gov/1162/Development-Services
