Commencement notice fees
The standard fee for a Commencement Notice is €30.00 which is payable online on the Building Control Management System (BCMS) website.
Where the proposed works or the material change of use (as the case may be ) relate to more than one building, the fee shall be €30.00 in respect of each building subject to a maximum of €3800.00.
In determining the fee payable in respect of a commencement notice, a house in a terrace and a semi-detached house are each to be treated as being a separate building.
The Commencement Notice process is in accordance with S.I. No. 9 of 2014 – Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014.
A new national Building Control Management System (BCMS) website provides for the completion of a mandatory online assessment, information on the submission of commencement notices, online payment, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Note: Where a building control authority makes a refund in respect of the submission of a commencement notice, the refund shall not be such as to reduce the balance of the fee to less than €30.00.
