Impact fees verified. Not a full total. Impact fees from the county 2027 land use table effective Oct 5, 2026 (roads, parks, library, public safety). Permit lines: county Building & Licensing fee schedule, using the schedule's own valuation rule ($50 per heated sq ft, $12.50 per unheated sq ft) - not the ICC valuation used elsewhere; three trade permits at $50 each; lot grading plan $250. NOT included: water and sewer tap/capacity fees (Forsyth County Water & Sewer posts no fee amounts on its web pages; the City of Cumming runs its own utility), so this page never shows a total. Plan review fee for residential not listed. Staged 2026-11-09.
