Steve Rohlf stated that after researching this issue, the <br />results showed that out of a total valuation of about $763,000 for <br />remodeling and small additions such as decks, fireplaces and <br />three-season porches, the total licensing fees amounted to $10,668. <br />The average fee was $79.
