Section 5:23-2.28 - Volume computation

(a) General: For the determination of the permit fees, the volume of the structure shall be computed as provided in this section.

(b) Structures: The volume of the structure shall include all enclosed dormers, porches, penthouses and other enclosed portions of the structure measured from the top of the floor assembly of the first story above grade to the mean height of a pitched roof, or the average height of the top of the roof beams of a flat roof.

1. With a basement/cellar: When a basement/cellar is included in the design of a structure, the volume of the basement shall be measured from the basement/cellar floor to the top of the floor assembly of the first story above grade and added to the structure volume calculation from (b) above.

2. Without a basement/cellar: When a structure does not include a basement/cellar in the design, the volume of the space below the floor assembly of the first story above grade shall be measured by using the distance from the top of the floor assembly of the first story above grade to the bottom of the footings divided by five (one-fifth the total distance), but this distance is not to exceed 21/2 feet below the top of the floor assembly of the first story above grade, and then added to the structure volume calculation from (b) above.

(c) Open sheds: For open sheds and structures of a similar character, the volume shall be measured within the perimeter of the roof for a height from the grade line to the mean roof level.

(d) No fee shall be required for premanufactured construction, assembly or components transported to a construction site. A fee shall be required for work performed at the site, including, but not limited to, foundation systems, structural installations and external utility connections.

(e) No fee shall be required for commercial farm buildings, or portions of, constructed of pre-engineered systems specified in N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.2(d) 3. A fee shall be required, unless exempted, for commercial farm building work performed at the site.
