Step 1: calculate prevailing market value
PREVAILING MARKET VALUE (PMV) MEANS THE VALUATION PLACED BY THE PERMIT ISSUER ACCORDING TO SECTION 2.2.10.2 OF THE BUILDING CODE ON THE COST OF CONSTRUCTING AND FINISHING A BUILDING. AN INDEPENDENT, THIRD-PARTY CONSULTANT DETERMINES THE PREVAILING MARKET VALUE.

- PERMIT FEES AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES SHALL BE AS ESTABLISHED BY REGULATION OR BYLAW MADE PURSUANT TO THE SAFETY CODES ACT.
- THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION MAY PLACE A VALUATION ON WORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING FEES.
Step 2: calculate base permit fee
Prevailing market value (PMV) rounded up to the next $100
Step 3: add additional fees and surcharges
Base permit fee
Maximum 560.00
Maximum 4420.00

Lot grading fees authority: this form summarizes the fees collected with Building Permits and should be used for convenience only. For official fees, reference the Calgary Bylaw 32M2004 regulating the surface grades of properties. The intent of the bylaw is to ensure that surface drainage flows away from buildings. The lot grading fee is applied to all Building Permit applications for new commercial/industrial buildings. The lot grading fee is applied to commercial/industrial additions if grades are required on the mechanical site circulation slip.
Safety Codes Council fees: for the purpose of the Safety Codes Council fee, the base permit and the partial permit, if requested, are considered two separate items. The municipality will collect the Safety Codes Council fee for each permit, base permit and partial permit, issued under the authority of the Safety Codes Act.
