Planning Application Fees

NOTE:  

Preconsultation is strongly recommended for Site Plan Approval, Draft Plan of Subdivision/Condominium, Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment applications. Substantial changes to the design and/or size of the development (as determined by the GM or Designate) will require new Preconsultation fees. For each type of planning application, Preconsultation fees will be charged. Only valid for 1 year unless otherwise agreed to by the GM or Designate.  Please review the applicable application fees if you choose not to complete Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Preconsultation process.
