Development and Building Permits
| BY-LAW | SECTION | FEE |
| Building Code Act By-law | 5.1 Fees for permits: | |
| New construction of, and additions to, residential buildings, community centers, cottages and churches | $25.00 + $0.12 per square foot | |
| New construction of, and additions to, commercial, industrial and other buildings not otherwise specified | $50.00 + $0.15 per square foot | |
| New construction of, and additions to, sheds, decks, storage buildings, garages, barns, and other farm, forestry or fishing buildings not designated for human occupancy | $25.00 + $0.06 per square foot | |
| Repairs, renovations or alterations to all existing buildings | $25.00 + $2.50 per $1000.00 of value of construction; except that for non-structural repairs, renovations or alterations where the estimated value of construction is between $1000.01 and $5000.00, the fee shall be $25.00 | |
| Relocation of mobile homes and mini-homes where there is no finished basement |
$50.00 |

| Additional fee where construction has been started prior to issuance of building permit.
