    Valuation for purposes of calculation of permit fee.

Permit valuations shall include total cost, such as electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing equipment and other systems, including materials and labor. The permit valuation may be calculated using the latest building valuation data published by the Southern Building Code Congress International or other applicable model code organization, at the option of the building official.
