Glasgow Fee ordinance (§ 503.030)
Chapter 503: Building Permits and Code Enforcement
In short: A permit isn't issued until the fee is paid. Construction costing over $200 but under $1,000 pays a $5 minimum; above $1,000, add $2 per $1,000 (or major fraction). The fee is estimated at application and adjusted after final inspection.
