"2026 Fees and Charges"
(March 10, 2026)
A By-law to establish Fees and Charges effective January 1, 2026 unless otherwise noted.
WHEREAS by-laws imposing fees and charges are authorized under Part XII of
the Municipal Act, 2001, Section 69 of the Planning Act, R.S.O 1990, as amended, and
the Building Code Act, 1992, as amended;
THEREFORE the Council of The Corporation of the Township of Pelee enacts the
following:
1. A tariff of fees and charges is hereby established as set out on the attached Schedule "A".
2. No request by any person for documentary, written or printed information relating to any
land, building or structure in the municipality, or any application described in Schedule
"A" will be processed, nor will any other municipal business be acknowledged unless and
until the person requesting the information or submitting the application has paid the
applicable fee(s) in the prescribed amount as set out in Schedule "A" to this By-Law.
3. Notwithstanding the tariff of fees prescribed in paragraph 1 of this By-Law and contained
in Schedule "A" hereto, Council may at its discretion, reduce the amount of or waive the
requirement for the payment of the fee in respect of the application or service where the
Council is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to require payment in accordance with
the tariff of fees described in the attached Schedule "A".
4. The attached Schedule "A" now forms part of this By-Law.
5. Should any part of this By-Law, including any part of Schedule "A" be determined by a
Court of competent jurisdiction to invalid or of no force or effect, it is the stated intention
of Council that such invalid part of the By-Law shall be severable and that the remainder
of this By-Law including the remainder of Schedule "A" as applicable shall continue to
operate and be in force and effect.
6. That By-Law 2025-16 is hereby repealed.
AND THAT this By-law shall come into force and take effect on the 1st day of January 2026.
READ A FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD TIME AND PASSED THIS 10TH DAY OF
