We are gradually moving into a monthly billing system for land use projects. When fully automated, an invoice will be sent to any project which has accrued fees during a given month. Invoices will also be sent and monitored at the time a decision is ready to be published or a permit is issued.
Some of our customers have already received the new invoices from us. We will continue to add projects to the list each month.
The invoice is sent to the signer of the Statement of Financial Responsibility. Any collection action necessary will be taken against this individual. If you are signing the statement on behalf of a business or partnership, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the authority to bind that entity to financial transactions. The project architect does not normally have authority to bind a client to future billings. By signing the Statement of Financial Responsibility the architect may find themselves owing money to the City for the project.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the new system or on an invoice you have received, please contact:
