Information supporting the proposed increases in Building Permit Fees (as required by Section 1.2.1.2 of Ontario Regulation 332/12 under the Building Code Act)
NOTICE:
The Council of the Corporation of the Township of Jocelyn is proposing to change the fee structure of the Township’s building permit fees. This decision is recommended by staff, following a review of the current permit fee structure and the costs associated with providing the service to enforce the Ontario Building Code Act with regards to the issuance of building permits through Section 7 of the OBCA. The effect will be to change the overall fee structure with the intent to set fees based on size and complexity of the structure. Council reviewed the proposal at their April 8, 2026 meeting, however final approval via formal notice and a by-law is required to proceed with these amendments.
Council will discuss the proposed fees on May 13, 2026 (included in a revised By-law), at their regular Council meeting and will further consider the approval of the proposed fee changes within a revised by-law at the same meeting. Anyone wishing to provide comments should write to the Clerk at clerkdangelo@jocelyn.ca can do so before May 12, 2026. An opportunity for verbal comments by members of the public will be provided during the meeting on May 13, 2026. Questions or requests for information may be submitted to clerkdangelo@jocelyn.ca
