Determining Encroachment Fees

Encroachment fees are calculated using the Encroachment User Fee Schedule referenced in the policy. Major residential and partially exempt organization encroachments pay a one-time fee. All other encroachments are charged annually with an inspection fee, which is added to the tax bill for the subject property. Fees associated with minor residential encroachments are outlined below:

Initial Encroachment Fees (due at the time of application):

Final Encroachment Fees (due upon completion of Encroachment Agreement):

Major Residential/Partially Exempt Organizations

• One-time Encroachment Fee: based on the total area of encroachments

Non-Residential

• Annual Encroachment Fee: based on the total area of encroachments
• Annual Inspection Fee: $76.75

Minor Residential Encroachments are issued under a permit and follow the below fee structure as identified under the current User Fee Schedule (see Fees & Charges on By-laws Online). Please note that if both major and minor encroachments exist, all items within the right-of-way must be processed through an encroachment agreement under the Encroachment Policy.
