Permit fees
Lacey mechanical permit fees for HVAC work
Lacey's building fee schedule sets mechanical lines apart from electrical. I check which line fits the job before I hire.
Mechanical lines on the fee schedule
- Mechanical permit: $80.00, plus $26.00 per mechanical fixture over three. (City of Lacey Building Fee Schedule, read Oct 19, 2026)
- Mechanical permit (whole house): $381.00. (City of Lacey Building Fee Schedule, read Oct 19, 2026)
Schedule date
Those lines come from the City of Lacey Building and Electrical Fee Schedule effective October 1, 2025. A later January 2026 PDF updates school impact fees; the mechanical lines above are on the October schedule. (City of Lacey)
What I ask
- Is this a single fixture swap or a whole-house mechanical permit?
- How many mechanical fixtures are you counting for the over-three add-on?
- Who pulls the Lacey permit, and is the fee in the bid?
