A Building Permit is your formal permission to begin the construction or renovation on your property. Based on Ontario Building Code Act, the property owner is ultimately responsible for complying with all building codes and requirements. Obtaining building permit shows that your project structurally sound and it follows Ontario Building Code and all municipal zoning requirements. It also protect you from potential costly construction delays and legal actions. Its another benefit is that it makes it much easier to request and review multiple project quotas and proposals.
Before starting your construction project, it is highly recommended that you first discuss your plan with an architecture firm. They review all the applicable zoning and building code requirements in your municipality as well as prepare a complete and accurate set of plans and designs. Furthermore, in case you decide to get a minor variance in Committee of Adjustment, they have experience and strategy to position your request. They can participate on your behalf in the public hearing and protect your right.
