Nearest cities with permit data

We have no permits from Vermont yet, and our state adjustment is not accurate enough for this project (error above 10% in our tests), so we do not publish a Vermont figure. Above is the range across the cities we measure; below, the closest ones.

Questions

How much does a water heater replacement cost?

The typical (median) cost is $2,239. Half of projects fall between $1,945 and $3,017, based on 371 building permits in Dallas, TX and New Orleans, LA.

Where do these numbers come from?

From building permits that U.S. cities publish on their open-data portals. Each permit includes the project cost declared by the applicant. We filter residential projects of this type and report the 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile.

Why might my quote be higher than these figures?

Permit applicants declare the cost themselves and some understate it. Permits also exclude work that does not need one. Treat the high figure as a realistic ceiling for an average project, not a maximum.
