Canton ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator

Canton publishes a building fee schedule that appears to cover one-, two-, and three-family dwellings, which is the most relevant official fee source for an ADU-style project; the city also charges a separate plans examination fee and inspection-related fees. A city rental registration fee exists, but it is not clearly an ADU permit fee and should be verified for relevance to the specific property use.

ADUFee.com is not affiliated with Canton. Estimates are informational and should be verified with the city, utility providers, and qualified professionals.

The calculator uses staged city data from the ADUFee database with visible confidence levels and dated source tracking.

Fee overview

The city fee schedule does not explicitly mention ADUs, so the applicable permit category should be confirmed with Canton Building Department before using these amounts.

Some fee details from the 2025 ordinance excerpt are incomplete and should not be treated as definitive without checking the full adopted text.

The rental registration fee is not necessarily an ADU permit fee and may depend on occupancy and property classification.

A Canton ADU would be reviewed under the city's one-, two-, or three-family dwelling fee provisions if the building department treats it as a residential addition or alteration.

No separate utility tap, school, or county impact fee was identified in the provided official sources.

Canton fee estimates should be verified against the current city, utility, and school district fee schedules before filing.
