NOTES:
1. Except where a flat fee is indicated for an Occupancy Classification or Type of Construction,
the fee per m2 of floor area set out in Schedule F, shall be used by the Chief Building Official
in determining the permit fee, by multiplying the floor area by the fee per m2, subject to
maximum and minimum fees where indicated.
2. For new buildings and additions, fees for sprinkler and fire alarm systems, unfinished
basements (except within dwelling units), finished basement areas in single detached, semi-
detached and townhouse dwellings and any balconies, decks, patio and porch structures are
in addition to the Occupancy Group Fee per m2.
3. Where a change of occupancy from one classification to another classification of a higher
hazard is proposed, the fee for the proposed occupancy applies. Where a change of use
permit is denied, fees paid may be credited to an alteration permit which incorporates the
construction required to accommodate the change of use.
4. For the purpose of this schedule the occupancy classification and floor area shall be
determined on the following basis:
a) The occupancy classification shall be established in accordance with the occupancy
definitions of the Ontario Building Code.
b) Except as provided in 4.d), the floor area is the sum of the areas of all floors including
basement, balconies and mezzanines and shall be measured to the outer face of the
2026 Fees and Charges Schedule "F" - Building Standards Department
Classes of permits and corresponding permit fees under the Building By-law
pursuant to Section 7 of the Building Code Act, 1992, S.O. 1992, c.23
exterior walls or structure. For interior alterations, measurements are taken to the inner
face of walls.
c) No deductions shall be made for openings within the floor area, i.e. stairs, elevators, ducts.
d) A garage serving only the dwelling unit to which it is attached or built-in and an unfinished
basement located within a dwelling unit shall not be included in the area calculations.
e) The horizontal projection of sloping and stepped floors shall be used in lieu of actual
surface area.
f) The fee for common facilities such as corridors, lobbies, washrooms etc., in "shell"
buildings shall be calculated at the "finished" rate according to the occupancy classification
of the floor area on which the facilities are located.
5. The fees shown in the following table will be used to calculate the total permit fee. However,
the minimum fee for any permit shall be $195.00 (2026 Rate).
6. Fees are indexed annually and are subject to change and Council approval in future years.
7. The fee for any permit or service not listed in this schedule will be charged at the hourly rate
for review and inspections and the minimum fee will apply.
8. Previous year's fees are applicable for:
a) Submissions made and minimum fees paid by December 31, 2025,
b) Enough information to calculate building permit fees received by February 15, 2026, and
c) Remainder calculated fees paid by February 28, 2026.
d) If these conditions are not met, 2026 fees apply.
9. All fees and payments in Canadian funds.
10. Classes of Permits - Occupancy Classification / Type of Construction fees in this table are

2026 Fees and Charges By-Law Schedule "G" -
Development and Parks Planning and Policy Planning and Special Programs
Pursuant to section 69(1) of the Planning Act, RSO. 1990, c P.13
NOTES:
1. Major Official Plan Amendment: A "Major" Official Plan amendment is an Official Plan amendment that:
a) any proposed redesignation or change in land use for a property(ies);
b) requires many changes to the policies and schedules of the Official Plan;
c) is more significant in scale and scope than a minor Official Plan amendment, and which may have
greater impact or policy implications beyond the subject lands. Applications relating to more than one
property would normally be in this category;
d) a site-specific application representing a large-scale development/redevelopment or a change in use.
An application involving significant changes to the text or policies of the Official Plan would also fall in
this category; and
e) an Official Plan amendment within a Heritage Conservation District.
2. Official Plan and Zoning By-law surcharge fees shall be paid prior to the item being enacted by Council
and/or paid prior to the preparation of draft instruments approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). An
additional surcharge fee may be required for the processing of any York Region Official Plan Amendment.
3. Minor Official Plan Amendment: A "Minor" Official Plan amendment is an Official Plan amendment that:
a) proposes a small-scale exception to a specific Official Plan standard (e.g., minor variations (maximum
10%) to numerical values, such as, the number of permitted units, building height, and gross floor area
('GFA'); or to add a site-specific use limited in scale, excluding outside/open storage and
environmental standards);
b) proposes a minor change to a specific policy that is limited in scope to one property;
c) maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan; and
d) shall have limited impact or policy implications beyond the subject lands.
4. Official Plan, Zoning By-law Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision, Block Plan and Secondary Plan
Applications - Recirculation fee applicable when substantial changes are initiated by the Applicant that
requires a full recirculation for review and comment prior to Council approval. When more than one related
application (e.g., Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment) is filed, the fee shall only be applied for one
of the related applications.
5. Where more than one application type requires an additional Public Meeting or Committee of the Whole
Report for a development, only one surcharge fee shall apply. This fee shall be paid prior to the Public
Meeting or Committee of the Whole meeting.
6. Per unit fee charge is based on a decreasing per unit rate. For example, a Zoning By-law Amendment
Application for a proposed residential development with 1,130 units, the fee is calculated as follows:
For the first 25 Units = 25 Units x $787
= $19,675
For the next 26-100 Units = 75 Units x $293
= $21,975
For the next 101-200 Units = 100 Units x $89
=$8,900
For each unit above 200 = 930 Units x $39
=$36,270
Total Per Unit Fee
=$86,820
7. For Temporary Use Zoning By-law Amendment Applications, the Non-Residential Area Fee shall be
calculated based on the lot area in which the temporary use is proposed.
8. For a Mixed-Use development, where more than one use is proposed on a site, the applicable Site
Development application fee shall be the Base fee, plus the total of the fees for each individual use/units
added together. For a Zoning By-law Amendment Application, Site Development Application and Draft Plan
of Subdivision Application, where residential uses are proposed, the per unit residential fee shall apply to
each unit for each application type.
9. This fee shall apply specifically for minor revisions to previously approved Site Development Applications
which `include minor modifications to signage, landscape treatments, relocation of previously approved
locations for transformer boxes, grills, etc.).
10. Fees are subject to HST.
11. This fee is a one-time reinstatement fee of a Draft Plan of Subdivision/Condominium for which the approval
has lapsed within the past 5 years.
12. Preparation, negotiation and/or review of POPS Agreements, including where such agreements are
incorporated into a site plan agreement, site plan amending agreement or any other legally permitted
agreement or mechanism.
13. Minor additions are less than 50 m2 of GFA and alterations include window, door replacement, signage, etc.
Any other minor amendments are subject to the discretion of the Cultural Heritage Division.
14. Where more than one application type is required, the heritage review fee will only be charged once.
