When is a Building Permit required? 

Always verify with the Building and Construction Department before starting a project. Failure to obtain a permit may result in fines or legal actions against all parties involved in the project.

Application Fees 

Building permit fees are established in accordance with the Building Permit Fees By-Law. Refer to the Fees and Charges page for applicable fees.

All applicable fees are payable upon approval of the permit by the Building and Construction Department and must be received prior to the commencement of any work. A permit is not valid until full payment has been received by the Municipality.

In addition to the base building permit fee, other charges may apply depending on the nature of the work. These additional costs can be significant and should be considered when planning your project. Applicants are responsible for understanding all costs associated with their building project.
