Through inspections, Building Services ensures that projects are designed and constructed in accordance with the terms and conditions of applicable municipal and legislative requirements. The department issues building, plumbing, demolition, occupancy, and other permits governed by the Ontario Building Code.
Building permits are typically required for the following:
New buildings
Additions
Renovations or alterations
Demolitions
Prefabricated structures
Plumbing alterations
HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning)
Miscellaneous for residential (pools, fireplaces, decks, fences, etc.)
Temporary buildings
Installing new windows and exterior doors
Installing new metal roofing
Installing new cladding (siding, stucco, etc.)
In order to carry out construction of new structures or renovations to existing structures you must complete and submit an Application for a Permit to Construct or Demolish to the Building Controls Department. This must be done prior to the commencement of construction as the plans and specifications of the project must be reviewed to ensure they comply with the Ontario Building Code. To see if you require a building permit, please click here, or contact the Building Department.
