San Antonio building permit fee calculator
Updated November 11, 2026 · Built from official fee schedules and city permit records
Enter your project details to estimate the San Antonio building permit fee under the current official fee schedule.
How the calculator works
It uses San Antonio's FY2027 Development Fee Schedule (revised October 2026): the bundled new-residential table by square footage, the existing-home fee for small additions, and the flat fees for miscellaneous residential projects. Over 9,000 sq ft, fees combine smaller increments as the schedule directs, so treat those results as approximate.
