Optional - Preliminary Business Licence Inspections
PRELIMINARY BUSINESS LICENCE INSPECTION FEE - $105.00 (Subject to Change)
Booking a preliminary inspection for a business license serves a critical purpose in the tenant improvement and business licence process. This inspection allows prospective buyers or lessees to have building inspectors evaluate their unit or space to determine compliance with relevant code requirements. By identifying any necessary upgrades or modifications in advance, this service helps applicants understand potential challenges and expenses associated with bringing the property up to standard.
Although there is a cost for this inspection, it ultimately saves time and money for both the city and the applicants. It ensures that only viable properties are pursued, thereby streamlining the licensing process and reducing the risk of unforeseen compliance issues after the lease or purchase is finalized. This proactive approach facilitates more informed decision-making, ensuring that applicants can accurately assess the feasibility of their intended use for the space.
To book a preliminary business licence inspection, payment is required. Please come in to our office to inquire about the inspection and to make payment.
