A building permit is required before undertaking or continuing the building, locating or relocating, demolishing, altering or replacing of a building or structure. Changing the use of a building or land may also require a permit.

The building permit’s primary role is to protect the property owner, adjacent properties and the community by assuring that the development is in conformity with Regulations, By-laws, and the National Building Code.Building Permit Applications

Applications should be completed one-week minimum before starling any work. More time will be needed if a re-zoning or a variance is required. Legal documents may be required in order to prove the ownership of the land.
