3. Payment of Fees, Expenses and Actual Costs
3.1 The total amount payable is payable upon receipt of a completed application form and
prior to formal presentation to Council or its advisory bodies. Application fees are non -
refundable and are applicable on a per lot basis.
3.2 The applicant is liable for any direct costs incurred by the Township during the
processing of planning applications including legal, engineering, and other consultant
fees. These costs shall be invoiced to the applicant on a monthly basis. In the event
there is a security deposit on file with the Township, these fees shall be dedicated from
said deposit and where a minimum balance is required throughout the processing of an
application as set out in the Schedule of Planning Fees, the applicant shall be invoiced
an amount to maintain the balance required for the security deposit.
3.3 Expenses incurred by staff associated with an application in excess of Planning Act
requirements and actual costs incurred for such items as advertising, consulting
(Planning, Engineering, and other) and legal will be charged directly to the applicant
and deducted from the refundable deposit. As expenses and actual costs are incurred
on behalf of the application, they will be submitted to the applicant for reimbursement
so that the initial refundable deposit will be replenished to enable the Township to pay
further costs as they are incurred. In the event that the applicant does not maintain the
application fee and applicable deposits with the Finance Department then the
application will be considered not complete with respect to the payment of fees under
the Planning Act.
3.4 Any person making application to the Ontario Municipal Board shall pay the applicable
fees outlined by the Ontario Municipal Board and /or the Planning Act, as amended. All
cheques for such applications are to be made payable to the Minister of Finance.
3.5 The applicant shall pay all costs associated with a planning development application
including Ontario Municipal Board Hearings and pre- hearing consultation costs and
appeal fees.
3.6 The tariff of fees described in Schedule "E" shall not include the processing of
objections to amendments, the attendance of the Municipality at Ontario Municipal
Board hearings, the attendance of the Municipality at any public meetings other than
those formally required by the Planning Act, the preparation of Subdivision Agreements
or the review and approval of engineering drawings relating to subdivisions by the
Municipality. The applicant agrees that, should the above become necessary, the
applicant will provide the Township with a deposit which shall be determined by the
Treasurer on an individual basis, and the applicant will provide a written agreement to
pay further deposits as required, and to reimburse any costs not covered by the
deposits.
