Salem ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Salem allows ADUs in several residential and some mixed-use zones, requires a building permit, and states that system development charges (SDCs) have been waived for ADUs. Exact permit, plan review, and utility-related fees were not clearly published in the results, so those items need verification on the city fee schedule and utility forms.

Fee overview
The search results do not include an official current Salem fee schedule with exact dollar amounts for building permit, plan review, inspection, or utility connection fees.
The Reddit result is not an official source and should only be treated as an unverified clue, not authoritative fee data.
ADU SDC waiver status should be rechecked against the latest city adoption documents before relying on it for budgeting.
The user wants permit and pre-development fee data for the City of Salem, Oregon, not Marion County or another Salem jurisdiction.
If a fee could not be verified from an official city, utility, county, school, or state source, it was left null or marked unknown.
Because the search results did not expose Salem's current fee schedule document, exact dollar amounts were not invented.
