Everything from burial permits to marriage licenses, parking fees and bringing garbage to the dump will cost residents more in 2022.
Jan. 1 many user fees in the City of Timmins went up. Council approved the changes in December 2020.
At the landfill, there is an extra $2.50 per tonne being charged for residential waste in 2022, with the new rate being $52.50 per tonne. The commercial rate is up to $82 per tonne from $78 per tonne. These rates are in addition to the $3 user fee to access the Tisdale transfer station and Deloro landfill.
A parking pass will set you back an extra $5 per month. The new monthly rate is $55 for the lots on Spruce north, Third Avenue, Pine south, coalition, library and Algonquin.
Timmins Transit daily fares are going up, however, the rate in the bylaw is different than what is advertised on the city's website. TimminsToday has reached out for clarification.
There are also changes to licensing fees.
A burial permit is now $60, up from $55. Marriage licenses are up $5 to $170.
For the committee of adjustment, applying for a minor variance is $675, a $25 increase. The base application for a building permit is now $85, which is a $5 hike.
The full user fee bylaw with all the rates in effect is available here.
