When will my credit card be charged? A Permit Application Fee is charged when an application is approved. If you asked to purchase insurance, then the cost of the insurance and the Insurance Processing fee will also be charged when the application is approved, as will the AV tech booking fee, if you requested tech support for an auditorium rental. In some cases. If there are continuous dates in your application then rental & custodial costs will be charged the last day of the month for dates used within that month, if your rental is for an event and not a long-term consistent rental then rental & custodial costs are charged the first day of the month in which the event occurs. Other administrative charges, such as Permit Alteration Fees, Cancellations Fees etc. are charged to your card on the last day of the month in which they were incurred. You can log into your account at anytime to view your billing history or access an invoice or a payment receipt.

Refunds

All permit processing administrative fees are non-refundable. Permit holders who wish to change or cancel a permit must do so at least 3 business days prior to the permitted date to receive a full refund for rental/custodial fees paid. Groups who cancel permits with less than 3 business days’ notice will be required to pay 100% of the total permit cost. Refunds will be made, upon request, via the original method of payment, except for cash transactions. All refunds based on cash transactions will be paid via cheque reimbursement. Refunds will be completed within 60 days of the request.
