Indexation of building permit fees for 2025

Burlington City Council will be considering an amendment to the Building Permit By-law to index building permit fees at a public City Council (Committee of the Whole) meeting:

Date:                        April 7, 2025

Time:                       9:30 a.m.

Location:                Virtual / In-person

The proposal is made in accordance with Section 6.11 of the City of Burlington building permit by-law and Section 7 of the Building Code Act. Once enacted by City Council, the amending by-law would adjust the fees contained in Schedule “A” of City By-Law 66-2019 to reflect the overall per cent increase approved by Council.

The report going to the Committee of the Whole will propose two (2) options for indexation. The approved indexation would take effect on April 15, 2025.

Individuals interested in addressing the committee or making a submission on this item are encouraged to register as a delegate by contacting the Office of the City Clerk at clerks@burlington.ca or online at www.burlington.ca/delegation by noon on  April 4, 2025.
