Building Department Information
Building Permit Information | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
A building permit is formal approval from your municipality to construct, repair, alter, renovate a building or install plumbing.
Building permits allow the Municipality to protect the interests of property owners and the community as a whole. By reviewing plans before any work is done, staff can ensure that buildings comply with the local zoning by-law and its controls on buildings and uses that are suitable to the area; the Ontario Building Code Volume 1 and Volume 2, which sets standards for design, life safety issues and materials, and other health and safety regulations. The Ontario Building Code requires that a complete building permit application for small projects and houses will be processed within 10 days. You will be advised at the time of application or within 2 business days, if the application is incomplete. Besides building permit requirements, there are other agencies that need to be consulted during the planning and design and building process.
