Building Permits and the Ontario Building Code
A building permit is your official permission to start construction, demolition, an addition, or a renovation on your property.
As part of the building permit process, drawings must comply with the Ontario Building Code and local zoning by-laws.
Building code enforcement, including issuing building permits, is generally carried out by municipal building departments.
Any new building over ten square metres in area needs a building permit, and plans must be reviewed and approved by city building staff before construction begins.
