Need help calculating permits and fees costs for new construction

https://www.cityofsantamaria.o...Hey everyone,

I am thinking about using a new construction/renovation loan to convert a single family house into a duplex (new construction) and build 2 detached ADUs. I want to figure out every single cost associated with getting the building permit. I want to know how to calculate the cost of a building permit, how much in development/impact fees, school taxes, encroachment permits (and any other required permits) and any other required fees. Basically, I want to know how much is it going to cost me before I can even start building anything (soft costs) so I can see if the numbers work.

Project Information

Single family house with at least .50 acre lot

Convert sfh into 6 bed 4 bath (2000 sq ft each unit)

Total: 12 beds 8 baths (4000 sq ft)

I already have the permit and fees costs for the ADUs.

I asked the city on how I can get all the possible costs for a new construction project and she sent me files with a breakdown of costs but I have no clue how to use it! Hoping that someone familiar with the process can be of help!

Thanks!
