Determining whether you need a valuation report for your construction project in Jacksonville is straightforward: Yes, it’s required. The City of Jacksonville mandates a valuation report as part of the building permit application process. This report is essential to validate the total job cost you’ve listed on your 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.

- The total cost listed on your valuation must match the cost listed on the
permit application and cannot exceed 50% or more of the total value of the building per the property appraiser. - The total cost exceeding 50% or more will trigger a civil review and the process will take longer than expected.
- Include the project name and address on the valuation document.
- Historically, COJ requested contractor names to be printed and signed, so this is ideal, but this is no longer requested.
- Only work requiring a permit needs to be listed. Work such as painting is not relevant to job cost on the valuation or application.
