Understanding the requirements will help ensure your application is successful and avoid unanticipated costs or delays.
Review the guides and checklists prior to applying for a building permit to help you plan your project and identify requirements.
Once you have your completed application form and supporting documents, come to City Hall to apply for your permit with your application fees.
After your application has been submitted, you may review the progress of your application through the Building Permit Inquiry system.
During the review of your application, our team members may contact you to request additional information, seek clarification or identify required changes. Our team will work to review the completed re-submissions in a timely manner.
Book your Building Inspection prior to completing each stage of work to avoid needing to uncover completed works for review by the Inspection team. Review the Required Permits Inspections guide for inspection requirements.
Once your application complies with the City's bylaws and associated regulations, our team will be able to issue your permit. Please note construction may not commence until a permit has been issued.
