  • When processing and reviewing consolidated applications (e.g. subdivision/ZBA/OPA applications), the highest rate of fees will apply.
  • Separate fees will apply for the processing of CVC permit approvals, with the exception of Subdivision applications.
  • CVC reserves the right to adjust fees should the review require a substantially greater or lower level of review including applicant-driven revisions to an approved plan/application.
  • CVC reserves the right to reassess fee requirements after two years of receipt of the application, based on timing and receipt of required technical information.
