THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF MILTON BY-LAW NO. 081-2022 BEING A BY-LAW TO ESTABLISH AND REQUIRE PAYMENT OF BUILDING RATES, FEES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE MUNICIPALITY AND TO REPEAL BY-LAW 063-2018 AND ALL OTHER PREVIOUS BUILDING USER FEES BY-LAWS PASSED PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 12, 2022. WHEREAS pursuant to section 7(1) of the Building Code Act, S.O. 1992, c.23, the council of a municipality may pass by-laws prescribing classes of permits and requiring the payment of fees on applications for and on the issuance of permits, requiring the payment of fees for maintenance inspections, and prescribing the amounts of the fees. AND WHEREAS pursuant to section 7(2) of the Building Code Act, S.O. 1992, c.23, the total amount of the fees under clause (1)(c) shall not exceed the anticipated reasonable costs of the principal authority to administer and enforce the Act in its area of jurisdiction. NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Milton hereby enacts as follows: 1. THAT the rates and fees for building permit applications be established as set out in Schedule 'A' to this by-law. 2. THAT all previous Building User Fees By-laws passed prior to September 12, 2022 are hereby repealed, including but not limited to By-Law 063-2018. 3. THAT interest be added to rates, fees and charges including any collection costs, that are due and unpaid after 30 days at the rate of 1.25% per month. 4. THAT no request by any person for any information, service or activity described in Schedule 'A' will be processed or provided unless and until the person requesting the information, service or activity has paid the applicable fee in the prescribed amount as set out in Schedule 'A' to this By-law. 5. THAT should any part of this By-law, including any part of Schedule 'A', be determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or of no force and effect, it is the stated intention of Council that such invalid part of the By-law shall be severable and that the remainder of this By-law including the remainder of Schedule 'A', as applicable, shall continue to operate and to be in force and effect. 6. THAT the following definitions and guidelines will apply: 6.1 Calculation of Permit Fees a) Permit fees payable shall be calculated based on the formula given below, unless otherwise specified in this by-law or in Schedule 'A': Permit Fee = SI x A, where SI = Service Index for the Classification of the work proposed, as described in Schedule 'A' Classes of Permits and Permit Fees and A = Floor Area in m2 of proposed work. b) Floor area is measured to the outer face of exterior walls and to the centre of party walls or demising walls for each storey of construction. No deductions shall be allowed for floor openings for such facilities as stairs, elevators, escalators, shafts and ducts. Interconnected floor spaces and atriums above their lowest level may be deducted from the calculated floor area. c) The Chief Building Official shall determine fees for any class of permit not described or included in Schedule 'A' (based upon 1.28% of the prescribed construction value, as determined by the Chief Building Official). d) Elective changes (revisions) filed after the issuance of a building permit, or prior to the issuance of a building permit and requiring the repetition of processes already commenced or completed, shall be subject to an additional Elective Changes (Revisions) fee as prescribed in Schedule 'A' as determined by the Chief Building Official. e) Where they serve detached, semi-detached or townhouse dwellings, no additional fee applies for attached decks, fireplaces, unfinished basements or attached garages proposed and constructed at the same time as the dwelling they serve. f) No additional fee applies for sprinklers, fire alarms, electromagnetic locks, or other mechanical systems or equipment proposed and installed at the same time as the construction they serve, except in the case of revisions to proposed systems, which will be charged in accordance with paragraph 6.1(d) above. g) For interior partitioning, floor areas used for the calculation of fees shall be the lesser of: i) The area contained within a rectangle encompassing the partitions being erected, or ii) The actual area of the tenant space. h) The occupancy classifications used in this By-law are based upon the Ontario Building Code major occupancy classifications. For mixed occupancy floor areas, the fee multiplier (SI) for each occupancy applies. 6.2 Minimum Fee Notwithstanding the fee calculation, a minimum fee as prescribed in Schedule 'A' shall be charged for all permit classifications, unless otherwise noted in Schedule 'A'. 6.3 Administrative Fee a) Where construction or demolition is carried out prior to permit issuance, to offset the additional investigative and administrative costs incurred by the municipality, upon issuance, the permit fee prescribed in Schedule 'A' shall be increased by the Order to Comply fee and/or the Stop Work Order Fee in Schedule 'A'. b) Where an inspector determines that the work for which an inspection has been requested is not sufficiently complete to allow for a proper inspection, the subsequent re-inspection fee as prescribed in Schedule 'A' will apply, payable upon receipt of a written invoice. c) Where a requested inspection reveals an infraction that was identified at a previous inspection and not remedied, the fee for subsequent re-inspection as prescribed in Schedule 'A' will apply, payable upon receipt of a written invoice. d) The fee for a Conditional Building Permit shall be 20% of the permit fee payable for the complete building permit and additional thereto. A minimum fee of $1,700 and a maximum fee of $25,000 apply to Conditional Building Permits. e) Upon request, the Chief Building Official may authorize a priority, fast track, after- hours service, at a rate of 1.5 times the permit fee prescribed herein. f) Upon request, the Chief Building Official may authorize special inspections outside of normal working hours at the rate prescribed in Schedule 'A', subject to a minimum 3 hour charge. g) Upon request, the Chief Building Official may authorize a Partial Building Permit at the rate prescribed in Schedule 'A' for the following classes of permits: i) Foundation Component (no charge for Firebreak Lots); ii) Foundation to Roof Component; iii) Plumbing Component; and iv) Drain Component (this may include drains within a building and/or mechanical component).
