How do I determine the valuation of my project?

To establish the value of any proposed improvements, a contractor shall submit an itemized breakdown of estimated material/labor costs and the Cost Evaluation form (attached to this packet). The contractor shall use the attached Material Receipts/Estimates handout to help them determine the valuation of the proposed project. These submitted documents and the project valuation will then be reviewed and approved by the Building Official in comparison to market value rates within Marin County and the City of Mill Valley.
