COVID-19 and Building Services

The Kingsville Building Department accepts building permit applications and digital drawings online through Cloudpermit. Hard copy drawings are also required at this time until we fully transition to digital. Please drop hard copies off in our overnight drop box at the Municipal Office. All applications are dated and processed in queue. Please note, COVID-19 pre-screening measures and special procedures are in place. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining social distance and wearing your mask during inspections.

Why do I need a permit?

Building permits are required to protect the interests of both individuals and the community. Building staff review and approve building plans before work begins, and we carry out inspections while construction is underway. This process ensures buildings comply with:

  • The Ontario Building Code
  • The local zoning by-law and other planning controls on buildings
  • Other applicable legislation, including conservation authority approvals and certain requirements under the Environmental Protection Act

Building Services

The Building department provides services to builders and individuals looking to build or renovate. We issue permits for:

  • Construction, renovation, demolition
  • Certain change of use of buildings and structures
  • Moving
  • Installation, alteration, extension or repair of on-site sewage systems
  • Plumbing, sewer and water service
  • Fence enclosures for swimming pools, and
  • Signs

We also carry out inspections to ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code and issue Occupancy Letters.

What if I fail to get a permit?

Homeowners are responsible for getting a permit before construction starts. Building without a permit is against the law and could result in you and/or your contractor being subject to fines or penalties set out by the Building Code Act.

Projects completed without a permit may not meet the building code standards, resulting in poor construction that may be unsafe; this could lead to costly repairs to correct the problem or even bring about complete construction failure. If you have begun your project without a permit, your permit costs double, and we may pursue legal action to ensure compliance.

A large question mark
When do I need a Permit?

You may be surprised to learn when you need a permit to renovate or build around your home or business. Find out if you need a permit before starting your project.

Permits are needed to make sure construction projects meet building code standards. If you suspect someone is building without a permit, please let us know.
