Why Do You Need a Building Permit?
Building permits allow the Town to protect the interests of purchasers, owners and the community as a whole. By reviewing plans before any work is done, the Town can ensure that buildings comply with:
- the Ontario Building Code, which sets standards for design, life safety issues and materials
- the local zoning by-law and its controls on buildings and uses that are suitable to the area
- other health and safety regulations
