Miscellaneous Cost Table

The Miscellaneous Cost Table can be built to figure the cost for any kind of building or improvement. Examples: arenas, boat docks, auto hoists, balconies, railroad spurs etc.

If the pricing manual doesn’t have pricing for an improvement type, LandMark can build a System defined or Locally defined cost source to fit the county’s need.
