Why?Building Permit Value

Building permits are necessary to ensure zoning requirements (contained in municipal by-laws), and building safety standards (contained in the Ontario Building Code) are satisfied in order to maintain or improve the health, fire and structural standards for the general safety of the public. The Ontario Building Code is a provincial regulation administered by the Building and Development Branch of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Under the Building Code Act, local governments are given authority for the enforcement of the Ontario Building Code within their jurisdiction.

How long?Get a Building Permit

For existing buildings (commercial and residential) subject to small renovations it may take anywhere between 2 to 3 weeks. However, the timing varies a lot from city to city depending on type of the project. Some cities provide fast track process for small renovations. Please check with your city website to obtain more detailed information with regards to your building application.
