January 9, 2025 - Changes to Development Services Fees for 2025

Below are some changes of note to the fees being assessed and charged by City of Brandon Development Services Division starting in 2025.

1. Convenience Fee - A 2.25% convenience fee will be added on all charges when payment is being made by credit or debit card.  Payments made using cash or cheque will not be subject to a convenience fee.
2. A fee of $50.00 will be applied to new construction permits in which heating and ventilation design reviews are deferred to the plumbing permit application. To avoid this fee, contractors are encouraged to include all necessary heating and ventilation details at the time of the initial permit application.
3. New fees have been implemented for all temporary tent structure installations greater than 90m² [968 ft²] at a rate of $150 for the first temporary tent structure and $20 for each additional temporary tent structure on the same property.
4. A new fee has been added for the installation of fire protection systems such as automatic fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems and spray booths. There will be a base fee of $147.00 plus an additional $12.00 for every $1,000 of construction value.
