How to get an Ontario building permit!

A Building Permit is a formal approval issued by a local municipality that allows you to proceed with construction, demolition, or renovation on your property. It is mandatory when you wish to construct, renovate, demolish or change the use of your property or building.

Why you need to obtain a building permit

Ontario Building permits allow your municipality to protect the interests of both individuals and the community as a whole. By reviewing and approving building permit applications before any work is done, the municipality can ensure that buildings comply with:

The Building Code sets standards for the design and construction of buildings to meet objectives such as health, safety, fire protection, accessibility, and resource conservation
The local zoning bylaw and other planning controls on buildings
Other applicable legislation, including conservation authority approvals and
Certain requirements under the Environmental Protection Act
When you need a building permit?

You must obtain a building permit before you:

Construct any new building over ten square meters in an area or place another structure, such as a mobile home, on your property
Make renovations or repairs or add to a building
Change the use of a building
Construction of a foundation
Construct a seasonal building
Undertake work regarding the installation, alteration, extension, or repair of an on-site sewage system
How your application is reviewed?

Staff at your municipality will review your application to confirm that the proposed work complies with the Building Code and other applicable laws set out in the Building Code, such as local zoning bylaws. They may send your application to other local/municipal officials for comments.
