Scope before arithmetic
Make sure the fee belongs to your project.
Toronto has a stand-alone plumbing and drain permit route for work not tied to another construction project. The exact permit question depends on whether you are altering the plumbing system or simply replacing fixtures.
Toronto lists installing or modifying plumbing systems as permit-required work.
Toronto lists repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures among work that does not require a building permit.
Work not related to other proposed construction can use the stand-alone plumbing and drain permit process.
