Schedule A - Classes of Permits and Permit Fees
1) Except where a minimum flat fee is indicated for the Occupancy Classification
or Type of Construction, the fee per ft² of floor area set out in Schedule "A"
shall be used by the Chief Building Official in determining the permit fee.
2) 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 and its appendices.
b) The floor area shall be measured to the outer face of exterior walls and to
the centre line of party walls or demising walls. No deductions shall be
made for openings within the floor area (e.g. stairs and stair openings,
ducts, elevators, escalators). Floor area shall include all habitable areas,
including mezzanines, finished attics and enclosed balconies. The
following shall apply to Part B of Schedule A in determining the fee
payable for a given building type:
-
Assembly Occupancies - The "Assembly Occupancies" rate shall
apply to the total floor area of floors which are principally of assembly
use. Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on the
principal use of the total floor area.
-
Institutional Occupancies - The "Institutional Occupancies" rate
shall apply to the floor areas of floors which are principally of
institutional use. Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on
the principal use of these areas.
-
Residential Occupancies - The "Residential Occupancies" rate shall
apply to the floor areas of floors which are principally of residential
use. Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on the
principal use of the total floor area.
-
Business and Personal Services Occupancies - The applicable
"shell" rate shall be applied to the floor areas of a speculative
structure, where the only finished floor areas are to be the common
areas (e.g. lobby, corridors, washrooms).
The "Interior Partitioning and Finishing" rate shall be applied where
finished floor areas are to be provided in other than common areas.
Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on the principal use
of the total floor area.
-
Mercantile Occupancies -The "Mercantile Occupancies" rate shall
be applied to the floor areas of a speculative structure, where the
only finished floor areas are to be the common areas (e.g. lobby,
corridors, washrooms).

The "Interior Partitioning and Finishing" rate shall be applied where
finished floor areas are to be provided in other than common areas.
Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on the principal use
of the total floor area.
-
Industrial Occupancies - Each "Industrial Occupancies" rate
includes incidental finished office space to a maximum of 10% of the
total floor area.
The "Interior Partitioning and Finishing" rate shall be applied where
additional finished space is provided. Other rates shall be applied to
other floors based on the principal use of the total floor area.
3) Where an order to comply, a stop work order or any Order under the
requirements of the Building Code Act (as amended) has been issued with
respect to construction and demolition where works have commenced prior
to issuance of permit, the permit fee prescribed in Schedule 'B' shall be
doubled. Where an Inspector leaves notice on site in regard to construction
and or demolition where work has commenced without the benefit of permit,
the permit fee prescribed in Schedule 'B' shall be doubled.
4) With respect to conditional permits, the fee shall be the fee set out in
Schedule 'B" for the proposed construction.
