Building Department
Minimum Permit Fee
No Permit Fee shall be less than $100.00, regardless of results calculated in accordance
with Part 5.2 and/or Part 5.3 of the Building By-law.
Determination of Area Calculations for Permit Fees
For the purpose of calculating the cost of permits, the following method establishing
square footage shall be used:
1. Each floor area shall be measured between the outside surfaces of exterior walls, or
between the outside surfaces of exterior walls and the centre line of Firewalls or Party
Walls. For structures like mezzanines, decks/porches and loading docks, the area shall
be measured between the platform edge to platform edge, or between the platform
edge to an abutting wall face. The summation of these calculations shall be considered
the Total Area.
2. A basement or a crawlspace contained in whole below grade, and with no interior
finishes installed, or where no use is proposed shall not have a permit fee applied.
3. All walkout basements in dwellings shall have half of their Total Area calculated for
the applicable permit fee.
4. No deductions shall be made for openings within a floor, i.e. stairwells, elevator
shafts, service shafts (ducts, etc.).
5. A horizontal plane may be projected over sloping and stepped floors to determine
floor area in lieu of actual surface area.
6. Where an interior renovation with only minor changes to Structural, Life Safety, or
Fire Prevention components is proposed, the applicable permit fee found in Part 5.3.1
of the Building By-law may be reduced to half the sum.
7. The primary function or use of a tenancy shall determine the applicable fee or fees
from Part 5.3.1 to floor areas within that suite or unit.
8. In buildings of multiple suites or tenancy, where more than one fee from Part 5.3.1
of the schedule would apply in the Building By-law. A separate Total Area calculation
shall be performed for each of the different occupancies, defined in Part 5.1.2 of the
Building By- law. The appropriate fee shall be applied to this Total Area, with the
summation of all fees resulting in the total Building Permit Fee.
Alternative Fee Calculations
Structures that are of an unusual shape, or where projects are unique in nature, and
where the application of Part 5.3 Classes of Permits and Fee Index would be
impractical, the Chief Building Official may utilize some, all, or a combination thereof,
of the following criteria to determine the Building Permit Fee.
> An estimation of staff time to be spent on the file. Based on,
> Plans Review/Clerical
Processing $60.00 per hour.
> Inspections, $75.00 per
Inspection performed.
> Apply a fee, or combination of fees listed in Part 5.3 that in the judgement of the
Chief Building Official, most closely reflects the proposed project.
> $12.00 per $1,000 of Construction Value, apply fee based on construction value for
each of the following - Groups A-F defined under the Ontario Building Code and farm
buildings where construction costs have been provided.
Combined Permit Fees
(1) Where a structure equipped with services or assemblies that are, either required
by The Ontario Building Code, or are of a voluntary installation, and for which a fee
has been listed in Part 5.3 of this Schedule, the summation of all applicable fees shall
result in the total Building Permit Fee.
(2) The fee for Heating shall only be charged when no other associated construction is
proposed.

Markers, Monuments & Foundations:
Markers and monuments are subject to size restrictions set out in the
Township's Cemetery By-law 2019-49 and are purchased through a monument
company (not through the Cemetery Operator/Township).

Township either directly by the customer or by the monument company.
Monuments are required to be placed on a foundation as per the Cemetery By-
law 2019-49. The monument company or purchaser is required to submit a
drawing of the monument with measurements to the Township (Cemetery
Operator) who will arrange the purchase and installation of the foundation, as
per the Township contract.
The following shall be paid to the Township by the monument company or
customer prior to the installation of a marker, monument, and/or a foundation
