PROPOSED CHANGES TO BUILDING PERMIT FEES
TAKE NOTICE that the Department of Planning, Building and By-law Services will hold a public meeting on May 16th, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Township Municipal Office at 636 St. Lawrence St., Winchester, in order to consider proposed changes to the building permit fees imposed under Section 7 of the Building Code Act.
