Municipal Approval (Dufferin County Building Form) - This form is available at the municipal office and is jointly used for municipal approvals and the Dufferin County Building Department for building permits.  On this form, you will be asked information such as the size of the proposed building, lot size, value of building, etc.  On the reverse, a sketch of the proposed building in relation to all lot lines and other buildings on the property is required.  The Township Office will check the zoning and whether the distances between the proposed structures and the lot lines are sufficient.  The fee for this service is $20.00.  You must obtain your building permit within 6 months from the issuance of the municipal approval.  

Development Charges -   It is at this point that the municipal development charge is payable.  The amount is $7,408.30 which assists the municipality in upgrading services required due to new development (i.e. Transportation, Police, Fire, etc.).
