Cost of Permit to install lighting Fixture

[push-stars.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know what it costs for a Permit from the City to install a ceiling fan?  Apparently, you are not allowed to pull an electrical permit and do this work yourself even if you are the homeowner. Instead, you have to hire a licensed electrician (who sends his assistant) to pull an electrical permit and to do the work. (which probably doesn't get inspected)...   I do know about how much the electrician fee is, but how much is the permit itself?
