Goodyear-specific cost drivers
- Retention and drywells. Basins sized for the 100-year, 6-hour storm, and drywells deep enough to reach permeable soil.
- Pad height. Floors 18 inches above the outfall can mean imported fill.
- At-risk grading. The city's at-risk grading permit, good for 60 days, costs 150% of the standard grading permit fee.
Context
Goodyear's median owner-occupied home value was $471,300 for 2020 to 2024, per Census QuickFacts. A $3,598 job is under 1 percent of that, by our arithmetic.
