to the centerline of any party walls or demising walls (excluding residential garages).
- In the case of interior alterations of renovations, area of proposed work is the actual
space receiving the work (e.g. tenant space).
- Mechanical penthouses and floors, mezzanines, lofts, habitable attics, and interior
balconies are to be included in all floor area calculations.
- Except for interconnected floor spaces, deductions are made for opening within the floor
area (e.g. stairs, elevators, escalators, shafts, ducts, etc.)
- Unfinished basements for single detached dwellings (including semis, duplexes, and
townhouses, etc.) are not included in floor area.
- Attached garages and fireplaces are in the permit fee for single detached dwellings,
attached dwellings, semis, duplexes and townhouses.
- Where interior alterations and renovations require relocation of sprinkler heads or fire
alarm components, no addition charge is applicable.
- Ceilings are included in both new shell and finished (partitioned) buildings. The Service
Index for ceilings applies only when alterations occur in existing buildings. Minor
alterations to existing ceilings to accommodate lighting or HVAC improvements are not
chargeable.
-
Where demolition of partitions or alteration to existing ceilings is part of an alteration or
renovation permit, no additional charge is applicable.
-
Corridors, lobbies, washrooms, lounges, etc. are to be included and classified according
to the major classification for the floor area on which they are located.
-
The occupancy categories in the Schedule correspond with the major occupancy
classification in the Ontario Building Code, as amended. For mixed occupancy floor
areas, the Service Index for each of the applicable occupancy categories may be used,
except where an occupancy category is less than 10% of the floor area.
