Township fees related to building and planning applications are designed, in part, to recover costs associated with processing these applications. A list of planning fees can be found under our Fees and Charges. Depending on the type of structure being built, additional fees may apply.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) has developed a series of Citizens’ Guides to Land-Use Planning. The guides are user-friendly and provide helpful information about Ontario's planning system. To view or download copies of these guides, please visit MMAH Citizens' Guides to Land Use Planning website.

A zone change is a process that changes the permitted use of land and/or the specific manner in which land is regulated (i.e. setback, height, etc.). A zone change application is required to maintain the intent and purpose of the County Official Plan.

The fee for a zone change can be found in our current Fees and Charges Chart.

If you are applying for a building permit and your property is subject to the Site Plan Control you may be required to enter into a Site Plan Control Agreement with the Township. A site plan control agreement may also be required in conjunction with an application for zone change, a minor variance or severance. Depending on the size of development, specific fees may apply. Please read the Township's Site Plan Control By-law and Site Plan Control Guidelines for additional information.

The fee for a Site Plan Agreement or Site Plan Amendment can be found in our current Fees and Charges Chart. An additional deposit also applies.
