Application and Fees
The application form outlines the requirements for submittal. The requirements include a site plan or survey, which will indicate the location of the property, the setbacks of all buildings or structures on the property and sufficient information to clearly identify the variance required. If you are acting as an agent for the purpose of the application, a notarized letter of authorization is required from the registered owner(s) of the property, or the owner(s) signature(s) must be commissioned on the application form.
Applications are available online or at the Committee of Adjustment office, Planning Division, Civic Centre - Level 5.
The application fee is payable at the time the application is submitted. Fees are only paid by cash or cheque. If the fee is paid by cheque, the cheque must be made payable to the City of Sault Ste. Marie.
Note: Before you prepare and submit your application to the Committee of Adjustment, it is strongly recommended that you consult with the
Building Division regarding zoning, and the
Public Works and Transportation Department if street frontage or setbacks from streets are affected. The Conservation Authority and the Algoma Health Unit may require that an application review fee be paid if the property is situated within an area under their control. Please contact the appropriate authority if applicable.
