The answer is simple, Yes. The City of Jacksonville requires a valuation report to justify the total job cost value listed in the permit application.
Valuation reports are aimed at providing a comprehensive assessment of property values, aiding in fair taxation, and ensuring accurate distribution of resources. When applying for a building permit, the City of Jacksonville requires the total “job cost”. As a verification method, there must be a valuation report to further justify the total job cost amount.
