Purpose and Effect
The Township of Brock is proposing to amend some costs of the building permit fees above the prescribed 2% increase noted within the by-law following a review of the current permit fees and the costs associated with providing service to administer and enforce the Ontario Building Code and the Building Code Act, as amended, with regards to issuance of building permits through Section 7. The effect will be to increase the existing fee structure and introduce a new four (4) year fee schedule, as well as amendments to the building by-law, and will take the form of a replacement by-law.
