Augusta ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Augusta’s official permit fee schedule shows residential building permits are charged at $0.06 per square foot under roof, with separate flat fees for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and inspection items. The city also charges plan review fees at 66% of the permit amount for general, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits, while one- and two-family dwellings are exempt from plan review fees; ADU-specific fees were not found, so final totals should be verified with Building Inspections and Planning & Development.

Fee overview
The official pages retrieved do not provide a dedicated ADU fee schedule.
The residential building fee of $0.06 per square foot under roof does not by itself establish the total permit cost for an ADU.
Utility connection charges, sewer/water tap fees, school fees, and any special district assessments were not confirmed from official sources in the retrieved results and should be verified separately with Augusta utilities and local agencies.
ADU fees in Augusta were not listed as a separate fee class, so residential permit fees were used as the closest official match.
An ADU may be processed as a residential accessory structure or as a dwelling unit depending on the final zoning/building classification.
Permit and inspection totals depend on the project valuation, scope of trade work, and whether the city applies the one- and two-family dwelling plan review exemption to the ADU.
