Building Permits

- 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

What are the penalties if I fail to get a permit? |
|
It is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure that they get a building permit before construction starts. Building without a permit is against the law. It could result in you and/or your contractor being subject to fines or penalties as set out by the Building Code Act. Projects completed without a permit may not meet the building code standards. They could also result in poor construction and be unsafe. This could lead to costly repairs to correct the problem. It could even lead to a complete failure of the construction. After you have completed your project, the cost of a permit and variance will be doubled. We may pursue legal action to ensure compliance. |
