Planning and Development Fees

Planning and Development Applications

To offset the cost of reviewing and issuing decisions on planning, development, and safety code applications, there are fees associated with each. These fees are established through the Consolidated Fees Bylaw  which can be viewed under the 'Financial Bylaws' drop down menu on our Bylaw page.  To confirm the cost of your development application, please reach out to development@strathmore.ca.

Off-Site Levies

The Town updated their Off-Site Levy bylaw in 2021. You can review the bylaw 21-07, including the map and off-site levy rates here

Building and Utility Permits

The Town works with Park Enterprises to review and issue Building, Gas, Plumbing and Electrical Permits. You can review the fee schedules below. Please note the following fee schedules are current as of May 16, 2023. For most up to date rates, please reach out to development@strathmore.ca or review the consolidated fees bylaw.

 Building Permit Fee Schedule
Building Permit Fees are determined through a formula, as follows:

$Construction Value ÷ $1000 × $10.00 = $Building Permit Fee
Plus a Safety Codes Levy of 4% of the Permit Fee, Minimum $5.00, Maximum $560.


For example:
A house has a Construction Value of $100,000.
$100,000 ÷ $1000 = $100.00
$100.00 × $10.00 = $1000.00
The Building Permit Fee is $1000.00, and the Safety Codes Levy is $40.00.
