Brief Explanation of Construction Types: All buildings are classified according to their construction type. Type I is least combustible
and Type V is most combustible. The difference in A or B for a given construction type is the level of fire resistance construction
rating (A is “protected” and B is “unprotected”). Below is a description of each construction type.
Type I (IA or IB): Constructed of noncombustible materials (typically concrete frame buildings)
Type II (IIA or IIB): Constructed of noncombustible materials (typically masonry bearing walls with steel framing)
Type III (IIIA or IIIB): Exterior walls are of noncombustible materials and the interior building elements are of any material permitted
by code (combustible or non-combustible)
Type IV: Heavy timber (HT) construction
Type V (VA or VB): Constructed of any materials allowed by code. Most residential construction in Lane County is Type VB

Additional Fees and Surcharges
The following fees and surcharges, while not levied by the Building or Electrical Programs, are applied to
building and electrical permits and incorporated into the total permit fee to be collected at the time of
permit issuance. As these can constitute a significant portion of your permit fees, a brief summary is
included here in the Building & Electrical Program Fee schedule for your reference.
Surcharges and Fees Typically Applied to Building and Electrical Permits
State Surcharge (LM 60.855(12) and ORS 455.210, 220)
Calculated as a percentage of building permit fees or hourly fees in lieu of permit
and is forwarded to the State of Oregon Building Codes Division…………………..

Construction Excise Tax
Applies to construction within certain school districts in Lane County. The
Construction Excise
Tax is assessed as a dollar rate per square foot of
residential and/or non-residential construction which is collected by LMD and
forwarded to the school district assessing the tax for capital improvement project
funding.
Rates vary among districts, contact LMD Administration or specific
school district for more information.
Fee Collection
At the time a permit application for simple mechanical, plumbing or electrical scopes of work are taken in
the total fee for the permit can be calculated based on the items listed on the application. This fee is
collected in full at the time of application. However, the total fee for more complex permit applications
(commercial structures, dwellings, accessory structures, etc.) that require land use, sanitation and other
approvals can not necessarily be calculated at the time of application. For this reason, a permit intake fee
is collected at the time of application in lieu of full fees. The permit intake fee is the sum of fees associated
with foreseeable services that will be rendered in processing the permit prior to issuance. This includes
fees associated with applicable plan check, addressing, planning review and approval, sanitation review
and approval, as well as local surcharges on these amounts. Once the application is approved and all fees
are known, the balance of the total fees will be owed. The balance will include fees for any review that was
completed but not included in the intake fee, fees associated with inspection services to be rendered once
the permit is issued, and applicable local and state surcharges.
Since the intake fee varies with each permit and is not known until your application is reviewed, please be
prepared to pay the calculated amount at the time of application. You may reference the calculation sheet
at the end of this guide to help you estimate the fees included in the permit intake fee and get a general
assessment of the amount that will be owed at time you submit your application.
