Building Warrant FEES
When you apply for a building warrant, you must pay a fee. The fees for building warrant applications are set by the Scottish Government.
The fee for an application is based on the 'value of the works'. In calculating the value, normal market costs must be used rather than discounted costs which may be achieved. If the local authority feels the estimated value is incorrect they may check the amount by reference to established indices of building costs, for example the RICS Building Cost Information Survey of Tender Prices.

• Amendment to building warrant (value of additional work up to £5,000) £100
• Amendment for conversion or demolition only (no building works) £100
