Re: Development, Building & Plumbing Permit Fees

The following is to be used to assess the Value of Construction, when determining Development, Building, Plumbing

Permit and Special Inspection Fees.

Development Permit Fee: $25.00 for a Development Permit for all buildings or structures that are proposed to be

constructed on a site, at that time, within a Development Area Regulation. This fee is in addition to any Building or

Plumbing Permit Fees. Within a Municipality a Development Permit must be issued by that Municipality before we can

issue a Building Permit.

Commercial: Estimated value shall be equal to the cur rent normal level as if placed for open contract bid.

Temporary Mobile Re-locatable Industrial Camps & Mobile Homes: $25.00 for each unit/trailer (if set-up for less

than 5 years) – if a unit also includes the installation of a secondary heating source then there is an additional fee of

$25.00 payable per each additional heating source. If units are to be set-up for more than five (5) years than the fee is

based on value of the cost of constructing the units plus the cost of setting the units up on site.

Residential: Cur rent normal level of construction costs per floor (per square foot):

Main/Floor /Crawlspace or Slab on Grade $80.00

Main floor/ Basement $100.00

Each Additional Finished Floor $50.00

Garage/Shop/Accessory Building $30.00

Cold Storage Shed/Deck/Carport $15.00

Building Permit fee is the Construction value multiplied by .005 (0.5%), with a minimum fee of $ 25.00

(Includes up to a value of $5,000.00)

Plumbing Permit Fee: use $6.00 per trap, minimum fee of $ 25.00 (includes 4 traps)

ly and when required, that the drainage tile has also been installed correctly.

Note: Unless it can be shown to be unnecessary, the bottom of every exterior foundation concrete wall

shall be drained by drainage tile.

an individual basis, at the discretion of the Development Officer/Building Inspector.

Note: Siting or set-backs from all property lines will be determined by the Development Officer/

Building Inspector, based on Local Area Development Regulations or in the absence of such regula-

tions, it will be based on the most current National Building Code of Canada (NBC).
