Any applicable area rates are charged per proposed category - see example below. - If an application has proposed zones in the same category, the proposed category's base rate will be charged once. - Except MU and DCs, each zone within the same category or different category will be charged its associated area rate based on the site area (ha) for the boundary of the proposed zone(s). Proposed Height (h) Modifiers changes under RSM, RM and RL zones shall be charged their respective category base fee and area rates. - If you are rezoning from a zone within the Agriculture category you will be charged for the full area of application (i.e., titled area). If you are rezoning from a zone that is not within the Agriculture category you will only be charged for the site area. - The increase in FAR for the MU zone will be calculated by subtracting the existing FAR from the proposed FAR. A reduction in FAR from the original development rights will not result in a reduction in fees. - Existing FAR is the maximum base FAR listed within a zone taking into account Floor Area Ratio (f) Modifiers. Embedded FAR modifiers such as for inclusive design or supportive housing will not be taken into account. Existing zones without a listed maximum FAR will have an FAR of 0. - Direct Control Types are characterized as follows: - Administrative: A standard zone is being rezoned to a DC for a minor technical reason (i.e. minor numerical changes to regulations, removal of uses from a standard zone), minor amendments to an existing DC zone. - Minor: Changes to the character of the site that do not significantly change the intensity of the use. - Resembles a standard zone with minor changes to uses that change the character of the zone. - Addition or changes to regulation(s) from Standard Zone. - No increase in FAR from existing zoning. - Only "architectural" changes to height that do not result in additional floor area. - Major: - Significant changes to the character and intensity of uses. (i.e. commercial, residential and mixed use towers, adding residential uses to commercial site or non-residential uses to residential site, large-site rezonings) - Increase 2 or more of FAR/height/density - Major additions of uses from previous standard zone or DC - Major changes or additions of regulations from standard zone or DC - Application requires comprehensive site planning supported by technical studies - Rezoning applications are subject to a notification and engagement fee component. - The applicant must pay the difference in fees, prior to third reading of the amending Bylaw, for any application resulting in a zone in a higher fee category than that initially applied for, whether the application was amended by the applicant, Development Services, or City Council. If the resulting Zone is in a lower fee category, no refund shall be made.

Fees included in this section may be previously stated above. Why Permits? Permits are here for your protection. They are the result of years of experience, testing and feedback. Having the proper permits ensures that what is being built is safe and aligns with the appearance and use of your neighborhood. What Permits are Required? If you are proposing new development, renovating existing development, or changing the use of a current building, you may require permits from the City of Edmonton. Depending on the type of construction, you may need to apply for different types of permits. Some of the permits that may be required are: Development Permit A development permit ensures that the location, size and use of a building comply with the Zoning Bylaw 20001. Development permits and approvals need to be obtained for new construction, renovations, and changes to how a building is being used. All properties within the City of Edmonton are zoned and that zoning determines what type of building and what use is allowed. To determine the development regulations for your property, find your property's zone at maps.edmonton.ca. Then look up your zone and other applicable regulations in Zoning Bylaw 20001. Development permits are either Permitted Developments or Discretionary Developments. Permitted Development: Permitted Use and comply with all of the regulations of the Zoning Bylaw. Discretionary Development: Discretionary Use or require a variance to one or more the regulations in the Zoning Bylaw. If the development is a Discretionary Development, notification of the application to the surrounding properties is required. Building Permit While development permits regulate the location, size and use of buildings on your property, building permits are intended to ensure that the work to be done on your property meets the minimum requirements of the Building Code. Most projects require both a development and a building permit. Mechanical and Electrical Permits Mechanical permits regulate the utilities servicing a property. This includes the water and sewer lines, interior plumbing, gas, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and electricity. If any construction includes mechanical work, separate permits may be required and are applied for separately. Separate permits are issued for each type of mechanical work that is being completed. This includes HVAC, Plumbing, Gas, and Electrical. Every building, mechanical and electrical permit requires payment of a safety code fee, which is collected on behalf of the Safety Codes Council. The safety code fee is calculated as 4% of the total permit cost with a minimum of $4.50 and a maximum of $560. Additional Information This document is not a complete list of the permits and fees that may be required. Additional permits and licences are issued by the City of Edmonton including: parking permits, pet licences, and business licences.
