Because each city and county building and safety department work independently of one another, permit fees and enforcement can vary drastically from one city to the next. As an example, Moreno Valley’s Building and Safety Department’s Fee Schedule Documentation charges $615 for the first 300 sq ft of a non-enclosed patio cover and $128 for each additional 300 sq ft. This would change between city and county lines. For this reason, we recommend you check your city’s fees and charges page to get a batter sense of overall pricing.
