Short answer: A Title 24 report from Title24Comply costs from $199 for an ADU, from $245 for a single-family home and from $345 per building for multifamily. The base price covers a set amount of square footage; larger projects add a small per-square-foot charge, and rush delivery is an optional add-on. Commercial projects are quoted individually.
The cost of a Title 24 energy compliance report in California depends on your project type, square footage and turnaround time. Title24Comply uses transparent fixed-rate pricing: the price you see is the price you pay, adjusted only for square footage, unit count and any rush service you select.
The same rates apply whether your project is in Los Angeles, San Diego or anywhere else in California. There is no travel charge and no separate consultant markup, because the whole process — ordering, uploading plans, payment and delivery — happens online.

What Is Included in Every Report

- Energy modeling in CEC-approved compliance software
- The compliance document your permit needs — usually a CF1R for homes and ADUs, or an LMCC for low-rise multifamily
- CHEERS registration where the project requires registration
- Permit-ready PDF delivered by email
- Two revisions for plan check comments or minor design changes
What Changes the Price of a Title 24 Report?
Square footage above the base tier, the number of units (for multifamily) and rush service are the only variables. The final price follows the square footage and unit count shown on your plans. If the plans show a larger project than was entered at checkout and an adjustment is needed, we contact you before proceeding — there are no surprise fees after checkout.
Example prices
These illustrations use the published rates; your exact price is shown when you order.
- 1,200 sq ft detached ADU: $199 base + 200 sq ft over the included 1,000 (2 × $9) = $217
- 4,000 sq ft single-family home: $245 base + 500 sq ft over the included 3,500 ($49) = $294
- 6-unit, 5,000 sq ft multifamily building: $345 base + 1,000 sq ft over the included 4,000 (2 × $25) + 2 extra units (2 × $95) = $585

Commercial Title 24 Pricing
Commercial and other nonresidential projects are priced by custom quote. The price depends on the scope of work, building type, conditioned area, compliance method, and the mechanical and lighting systems involved. Request a quote through the commercial quote form; quotes are typically returned in about 5–15 minutes during business hours.
How Does This Compare to Market Rates?
Independent Title 24 consultants typically charge $350–$750+ for similar reports. Title24Comply's fixed-rate online model lets us offer lower, published prices for the same type of permit-ready documentation, and you know the cost before you order rather than waiting for a quote.
Keep in mind that the Title 24 report is one of several permit-related costs. Building department plan check and permit fees are set by your city or county, and where the report requires field verification, a HERS (ECC) rater is hired separately during construction — see HERS rater vs Title 24 report.
