AND WHEREAS section 391 of the Municipal Act, 2001, authorizes the Council of the
City of Vaughan to pass by-laws for the imposing of fees or changes on any class of

AND WHEREAS fees and charges listed in the Schedules attached hereto may be set,

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
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 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 $190.00 (2025 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, 2024,
b) Enough information to calculate building permit fees received by February 15, 2025, and
c) Remainder calculated fees paid by February 28, 2025.
d) If these conditions are not met, 2025 fees apply.
All fees and payments in Canadian funds.

NOTES:
1. Any application fees paid prior to the date this By-law comes into force, shall be credited to the amount(s)
due under this By-law.
2. If an application is withdrawn in writing by the Applicant:
a) prior to a technical report proceeding to Committee of the Whole, 25% of the fee may be refunded; or
b) prior to a Public Meeting, 50% of the fee may be refunded.
3. Should the Applicant request that a Public Meeting be cancelled (after Notices have been mailed out) and
held at a later date, the total cost incurred for the second mailing of a Public Meeting Notice shall be borne
by the Applicant.
4. An appeal of any of the Planning Applications identified in this By-law to the Ontario Land Tribunal shall be
subject to a $929 Planning Department Administrative fee for each application appealed, to be paid by the
Appellant.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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

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.
8. Official Plan, Zoning By-law Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision, Block Plan and Secondary Plan

the Applicant does not pay the above within 30 days of written notice from the City.
10. Fees for Landscape Inspection and Landscape Review are subject to HST. This includes a maximum of two

For the first 25 Units = 25 Units x $764
= $19,100
For the next 26-100 Units = 75 Units x $284
= $21,300
For the next 101-200 Units = 100 Units x $87
=$8700
For each unit above 200 = 930 Units x $38
=$35,340
Total Per Unit Fee
=$84,440

16. This fee/surcharge shall be the combined total application/surcharge fees for a Major Official Plan and Zoning
By-law Amendment.
