For jurisdictions, the BVD tool provides updated data to justify typical increases of permit fees as well as a formula to help modernize outdated permit fees that have not increased at a regular interval. For other professionals, it can assist in estimating fees needed for presentations and proposals for new work. For all, this tool helps see how a jurisdiction鈥檚 fees compare to the average costs represented in the BVD. It鈥檚 important to note that the BVD is updated twice a year so members can rely on its accuracy.
Jurisdictions and other interested parties should actively evaluate and assess the impact of the BVD table before using it.
