Published fee information

London's current published Building B-7 fee overview lists a $430.33 demolition fee for a single-detached, semi-detached or duplex building; other demolition scopes need separate classification. The City also lists a $260.37 general minimum permit fee, which must not be blindly added to the demolition fee. Engineering, grading and other fees may apply. The final assessed fee is determined by the municipality.

Use this as a municipal-fee reference, not as the total project budget. Design, engineering, related applications and construction costs are separate.
