Attention Members of the Sault Ste. Marie Construction Association:
A public Open House will be held to review the proposed increase to the City of Sault Ste. Marie building permit fees. In order to keep the fee structure in line with actual services costs, a fee increase is proposed effective January 1, 2018.
The Open House will take place on:
Wednesday, October 18, 2017 - 9 to 10 a.m.
Plummer Room, Level 3, Civic Centre - 99 Foster Drive
For those individuals who wish to make representation with respect to a new fee schedule prior to approval by City Council, this open house will provide information on the following:
- The annual 2016 fee report showing costs of operations relating to permit issuance and building code enforcement.
- The proposed new fee structure showing the approximate increase of permit fees over a 5 year projection.
- The rationale for the fee increase.
It’s important that your organization is represented at this Open House as it provides a means to receive information and provide feedback on the proposed changes before the item is dealt with at City Council. In previous years, these open house have had very little attendance. Please make a point to try to attend the session.

Executive Director
