Fees Bylaw
City of Charlottetown
Schedule 'D' - Planning & Heritage Department - Schedule of Fees
ALL fees are collected at the time of application submission.
Permit fees for late filing of a permit or starting construction without a permit will result in doubling of the
fees charged.
Any work carried out on a Heritage building or property before a permit is issued will result in the regular
permit fees being charged.
In the event an applicant requests a refund resulting from cancelling a development application or building
permit, the refund will be based upon the amount of work undertaken to date to process the request. Once
a building permit is issued, no refund will be provided and once a Planning report is prepared for a planning
application, no refund will be provided. A refund will be provided up to 75% of the fee for processing a
development application or building permit depending upon the stage of review that has been undertaken
up to the date of the request for refund.
