Permit Fees

Permit fees will be calculated as part of the administrative review, and must be paid before your application proceeds to a technical review. No construction, including foundation or excavation work can begin until the appropriate permit has been issued.

Failure to obtain proper permits before starting construction can result in costly delays, legal action and/or the removal of work already completed.
