Home › Glossary › Permit valuation
The job value stated on the permit application — the applicant's estimate of the work's cost.
Valuation is published by most (not all) jurisdictions, and it is the applicant's number, not a bid or a final cost. PermitBoards shows it exactly as published and says “not published” for feeds that omit it — Philadelphia and Washington DC are examples. Treat valuation as a sizing signal: it separates a $4,000 repair from a $400,000 addition at a glance.
