Schedule B — Part B
Fees Payable for Building Permits
Notes:
1. The following guidelines for calculating floor areas and fees apply to the specific building
types and construction indicated. In order to determine the applicable occupancy, recourse
shall be had to the building code and its appendices.
2. Floor area shall be measured to the outer face of exterior walls and to the centerline of
party walls or demising walls. No deductions shall be made for openings within the floor
area (e.g., stairs and stair openings, ducts, elevators, escalators). Floor area shall include
all habitable areas, including mezzanines, finished attics and enclosed balconies.
(a) Assembly Occupancies:
The "Assembly Occupancies" rate shall apply to the total floor area of floors which
are principally of assembly use. Other rates shall be applied to other floors based
on the principal use of that floor area.
(b) Institutional Occupancies:
The "Institutional Occupancies" rate shall apply to the floor areas of floors which are
principally of institutional use. Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on
the principal use of that floor area.
(c) Residential Occupancies:
For detached, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings, the floor areas of
unfinished basements, attached garages, porches and decks shall not be included
in the area calculations, but the fee is inclusive of these areas.
For the other residential occupancies, the "Residential Occupancies" rate shall
apply to the floor areas of floors which are principally of residential use. Other rates
shall be applied to other floors based on the principal use of that floor area.
(d) Business and Personal Services & Mercantile Occupancies:
The "Business and Personal Services & Mercantile Occupancies" rate shall apply to
the floor areas of floors which are principally of business and personal service or
mercantile use. Other rates shall be applied to other floors based on the principal
use of that floor area.
(e) Industrial Occupancies:
Each "Industrial Occupancies" rate includes subsidiary incidental finished office
space to a maximum of 10% of the total floor area. The "Interior Partitioning and
Finishing" rate shall be applied where additional finished space is provided. Other
rates shall be applied to other floors based on the principal use of the total floor area.
3. "Construction value", as used in Item 10 of Schedule B — Part B, means the value of the
proposed construction as determined by the Chief Building Official, whose determination of
that value shall be final.
