York ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator

York city permit fees appear to be based on a valuation formula, with a building permit fee of 1.25% of valuation and a plan review/inspection fee (RIF) of 0.75% of valuation, capped at 1.75% of BVD; a Pennsylvania Act 13 fee of $4.50 also applies to UCC permits. The city fee schedule is older and should be verified against current local permitting rules before use for ADU budgeting.

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

Step 1 of 5: Location

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

Fee overview

The county PDF result shown in search results appears to be from York County, South Carolina (address in York, SC), not York, Pennsylvania, so it should not be used as direct evidence for this city.

Exact ADU fees cannot be computed without the project valuation/BVD and confirmation of any current local surcharges, utility tap fees, or school-related charges.

I did not find a current official York, PA utility connection fee or school district fee source in the provided results.

The user asked for York, Pennsylvania, so city fee data for the City of York was prioritized over county or state-level sources.

The available official city fee schedule appears to be the most directly relevant source, but it is dated and should be verified with the current permitting office.

No exact ADU-specific permit worksheet was available in the provided results, so valuation-based fees are reported as formulas rather than dollar amounts.

FAQs

Are York ADU fee estimates official?

No. ADUFee.com provides planning estimates only. Final fees are set by the city, utility providers, school district, and other agencies.

What sources are used for York?

The database stores city, state, utility, school, county, and other source links where available. Each estimate should still be verified locally.

Can ADU fees vary within Pennsylvania?

Yes. Permit, utility, school, inspection, and impact fees can vary by jurisdiction, parcel, project size, utility provider, and local interpretation.
