[quote=Anonymous]So, to sum up our our permitting & plans related costs for site preparation, we spent: Architect, 18K Engineer, 15K Permitting fees: 54K (in many DMV counties, if its just land and not a teardown there is an additional impact fee. Our architect told us that for people with teardowns, that's why they'll leave a token piece of the house in place and incorporate it into the new build. Those impact fees were about 1/3 of the total 54K) Permit Expeditor was 35K--dysfunction at the County level added about 10k to this. At one point, the County couldn't find key legal historical documents related to our property. We had a stand off for about 6 weeks with them, and had to send the permit expeditor down a rabbit hole to find said documents through extensive research. ugh. That puts us at 122K for this part of site prep. [/quote]
