BUILDING PERMITS:

Building permits are required for most construction activity, including construction or placement of new buildings on a property, building renovations, installation of outdoor furnaces, etc., as well as for demolition of a structure.  Contact our Chief Building Official, Henry Van Ael, to inquire whether your project requires a building permit.

All building activity within the Township is governed by the Ontario Building Code Act, 1992, as amended, and related regulations.  In addition, buildings and property use is regulated by the Township's Official Plan and Zoning By-Law.

Permit fees are based on construction costs according to a formula based on square footage and will be calculated by CBO following submission of your application.

Rule of Thumb:  If you're in doubt about whether you need a building permit for a project, give Henry a call.
