Building Permit Bylaw Fees Amendment

Burlington City Council will be considering an amendment to the Building Permit Bylaw to index building permit fees at the Community Planning Regulation & Mobility Committee meeting:

Date: Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023

Time: 9:30 a.m.

Location: Virtual and In-person: City Hall, 426 Brant St., Council Chambers, 2nd floor

The proposal is made in accordance with Section 6.11 of the City of Burlington building permit bylaw and Section 7 of the Building Code Act. Once enacted by City Council, the amending bylaw would index the fees contained in Schedule “A” of City By-Law 66-2019 to the overall percentage increase for the total Human Resource expenditures as approved in the annual budget in relation to the Building Section.

The proposed indexing is 5.8 per cent and would take effect on March 6, 2023.

Individuals interested in addressing the committee or making a submission on this item can register as a delegation by contacting the Office of the City Clerk at clerks@burlington.ca or fill out the online Delegation Registration by noon on Feb. 27, 2023.

Anyone may request a copy of the report to be presented and/or may request an estimate of the cost of administering or enforcing the Building Code Act, the amount of the change of the existing fees and the rationale for the change in the fees. To obtain a copy of the report or for more information about the bylaw or its effect, please contact Nick Anastasopoulos, Chief Building Official at buildingpermits@burlington.ca.
