About each permit
Veterinary Premises Permit
Ownership sets the price, and the gap is wide: a veterinarian-owned facility pays $235 to open — a $25 application, a $200 inspection and a $10 regulatory fee — while a facility owned by a non-veterinarian pays a further $360 permit fee on top, making $595. Renewal is $370 either way, because the biennial inspection is bundled into it. Any premises where a licensed veterinarian practises needs one, mobile facilities included, and a mobile operating in more than one location is expressly covered. Shared or rented space inside another licensed facility needs its own separate permit. The exemptions are narrow: a house-call practitioner with no facility for receiving patients, an ambulatory agricultural or equine practitioner with no facility, an employer treating only its own animals, government facilities and licensed research facilities. Operating without one is a misdemeanour and carries a $200-a-month civil penalty.
