Roanoke ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
Roanoke publishes a city fee schedule that includes construction permit, building plan review, zoning/building permit, and related development fees; however, the city’s public fee page does not clearly list a dedicated ADU fee, so an ADU in Roanoke likely follows the standard permit and review schedule and must be verified with Planning/Building staff.

The calculator uses staged city data from the ADUFee database with visible confidence levels and dated source tracking.
Fee overview
The city fee page appears to be effective July 1, 2023; a newer fee schedule may exist and should be verified before permitting.
Roanoke’s public materials do not clearly state whether an ADU requires a special permit, only that planning staff handle accessory apartment/ADU questions.
I did not invent exact ADU-only fees because the official source did not clearly provide them.
The ADU is located within the City of Roanoke, not Roanoke County.
Roanoke does not publish a separate, clearly labeled ADU permit fee on the public fee page, so standard permit and zoning fees are the best available proxy.
Any utility connection or tap fees beyond the listed city fee page must be verified directly with the city utility department.
FAQs
Are Roanoke 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 Roanoke?
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 Virginia?
Yes. Permit, utility, school, inspection, and impact fees can vary by jurisdiction, parcel, project size, utility provider, and local interpretation.
