Brownsville ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Brownsville has official city fee documents, but the publicly surfaced sources do not clearly isolate ADU-specific permit or pre-development fees. The most relevant city sources point to a master fee schedule, a housing code inspection fee, and Brownsville PUB water/wastewater impact fees that may apply depending on utility service and project scope.

Fee overview
The sourced city documents surfaced here do not provide a complete ADU permit-cost breakdown.
The proposed capital recovery fee mentioned in news coverage may not be adopted or currently effective; verify against the latest official ordinance before using it.
Do not treat the $12 inspection fee as a complete ADU fee estimate; additional building, plan review, utility, and possible connection charges may apply.
Brownsville does not appear to have a clearly surfaced, ADU-specific fee schedule separate from general residential permit and utility fees.
An ADU would likely be treated as a residential accessory structure or dwelling unit for permitting, but the exact classification must be verified in the city code and fee schedule.
Utility connection charges may depend on whether the ADU requires a separate meter or additional capacity.
