Subject: By-Law for Building Permits
Purpose: To seek approval to standardize fees to be charged across the entire City for the issuance of permits for building, demolition and other related matters.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
By eliminating differences in existing fee structure of the former area Municipalities, there will be approximately 4% ($1 million) increase over the 1997 combined budgeted revenues. Further increase in revenues are also expected ($4 million) due to anticipated increase in value of permit applications.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) The attached Building Permit By-law be approved.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Permit fees are charged for the issuance of construction and demolition of buildings. Ontario Building Code Act 1992 authorizes municipalities to charge such fees in order to offset expenditures associated with the administration and enforcement of the Ontario Building Code.
For many years, the calculation of fees in all former Municipalities had been based on the prescribed value of construction. With the exception of the value of the land, prescribed value included many construction-related costs such as professional fees, land transfer taxes and the actual cost of construction. However, it was a subjective method and it was not a good service level indicator to reflect the efforts needed by Building Departments and others to carry out plan examination and inspection of buildings.
In view of the above shortcomings, and approximately four years ago, the Toronto Area Chief Building Officials Committee developed a new model by-law and a new method of fee calculation. The new method is considered to be more equitable and less subjective.
The By-law consists of two elements. The first being the general text portion, which deals with matters such as issuance and revocation of permits as well as refunds. The second portion under Schedule A establishes fees to be charged for the issuance of variety of permits. Currently, it is in use by all the six former Metro Toronto Municipalities and seven others within the Greater Toronto Area. Under this method, fees are calculated on the basis of the area of the building, its classification as to the type of occupancy and the Service Index associated with that type of occupancy. Compliance letters are usually requested by real estate solicitors in connection with the sale of a property. Currently, fees for this service among the six former Municipalities range from $50 to $150 per request. The attached By-law also consolidates these charges.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The general text portion of the proposed By-law is very similar to the by-laws currently in use. However, there are differences in the fees charged by the former Municipalities. The purpose of this report is in fact to eliminate these differences so that fees charged for similar work will be the same throughout the City.
The differences in the current fee structures are primarily due to the following two factors.
(1) Different Service Indices established by the former Municipalities based on services provided.
(2) Date of last amendment of the By-laws.
In our approach for establishing the new Schedule A, the six existing Chief Building Officials followed the following principles.
(1) To standardize the fees but not to increase them across the board.
(2) To reduce the fees where appropriate.
(3) To insure that any fee is not greater than the maximum being charged at any of the former Municipalities.
(4) To take into account the fact that in some of the former area municipalities, fees have not been increased in the past three to five years.
(5) To ensure that services provided are standardized resulting in enhanced services for some areas.
(6) To be simple and easy to understand.
(7) To be flexible for single or multiple permit applications for the same project.
(8) To give credit for repeat permits (e.g. in subdivisions).
To assist the Committee, the following Table 1 has been prepared to give examples of permit fees in different Municipalities, for three different types of occupancy.
