STAGE 02 - Apply for a building warrant

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.


The fee is subject to discounts where certificates of design form part of the application and/or where it is indicated in the application that certificates of construction will be included with the completion certificate submission.
