INTERPRETATION:
The following explanatory notes are to be observed in calculation of permit fees:
1. Floor area of the proposed work is to be measured to the outer face of exterior walls (excluding
residential attached garages) and to the center line of party walls, firewalls or demising walls.
2. In the case of interior alterations or renovations, area of proposed work is the actual space receiving
the work (e.g. tenant suite).
3. Mechanical penthouses and floor, mezzanines, loft, habitable attics and interior balconies are to be
included in all floor area calculations.
4. Except for interconnected floor spaces, no deductions are to be made for openings within floor area
(e.g. stairs, elevators, service shafts).
5. Unfinished basements and garages for single-family dwellings (including semis, duplexes, and
townhouses etc.) are not included in the floor area calculation.
6. Where interior alterations and renovations require relocation of sprinkler heads or fire alarm
components, no additional fee is applicable.
7. Ceilings are included in both new and finished (partitioned) buildings. The permit fees for ceilings apply
only when alterations occur in existing buildings. Minor alterations to existing ceilings to accommodate
lighting of HVAC improvements are not chargeable fees.
8. Where demolitions of partitions or alterations to existing ceilings are part of an alteration or renovation
permit, no additional fee is applicable.
9. Corridors, lobbies, washrooms, lounges etc. are to be included and classified according to the major
occupancy classification for the floor area on which it is located.
10. The classes of building permits and occupancy categories in the schedule correspond with the
definitions of major occupancy classifications in the Ontario Building Code. For mixed occupancies, the
permit fees for each of the applicable occupancy categories may be used.
11. For rack storage use, apply the square footage fee that was used for the building.
12. A temporary building is considered to be a building that will be erected for not more than one year.
13. The Chief Building Official shall determine fees for classifications of permits not described or included
in the schedule.
Unless otherwise noted all definitions of building classifications shall be as defined in the
Ontario Building Code for Major Occupancies.
