The Township of Brock has announced it will hold a public meeting to consider the passing of a by-law to adopt new and amended building fees and charges under Section 7(6) of the Building Code Act, as amended, at the council meeting on November 27.
The township is proposing to amend the costs of the building permit fees following a review of the current permit fees and the costs associated with providing service to enforce 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 five (5) year fee schedule, as well as amendments to the building by-law, and will take the form of a replacement by-law. It is the intent that the new fee schedule will be effective January 1, 2024,” said a township notice.
It said the following information will be available to the public by contacting the Building Admin at billie.clark@brock.ca or in person at the township municipal office:
- The amended Building By-law;
- The proposed permit fees;
- The current permit fees; and
- Justification of the permit fee increase through the permit fee review report.
A Virtual Public Meeting will be held on November 27 at 6 pm. Residents can participate electronically or watch the meeting live streamed.
