Note that the discounts apply where a late application for Building Warrant is made. The discount is applied to the whole fee. Discounts also apply to the stages in a staged warrant where the discount is on the fee for the amendment of a Building Warrant (which in staged warrants should take account of the increased value of the work). Discounts do not apply to applications for an Amendment to a Building Warrant where the estimated cost is less than £5,000. Certificates of Design The discount for one or more such Certificates of Design presented with a Building Warrant application, is 10% for each Certificate that covers the whole of any section of the functional standards, and 1% for each Certificate covering a single item in any such section, up to a maximum of 5% for any one section; all subject to a maximum discount of 60% of the Building Warrant fee.

F9	Fee Exemption for Disabled Persons The Fee Regulations state that no fee shall be payable where the purpose of the work to which the application relates is to alter or extend a dwelling so that it is made suitable as a dwelling for a disabled person The fee is set at zero for works to alter or extend the existing dwelling occupied by a disabled person provided the works are solely for the benefit of the disabled person. The relief therefore is not for disabled people in general, it relates specifically to works to provide facilities for disabled people as defined in the building standards. “Disabled person" means a person with a physical, hearing or sight impairment, which affects that person's mobility or use of buildings. To allow Dundee City Council to assess your entitlement to this fee exemption you should provide a letter from your Doctor or Occupational Therapist confirming your disability unless the work is related to an Improvement Grant application for a Disabled Person.
