What is Accessory Structure?
An accessory structure in Ontario is a building or structure that is separate from the main home but is located on the same property. Accessory structures are subject to zoning by-laws and the Ontario Building Code, which regulate their size, type, location, and other requirements. A building permit is often required, and the process for applying for one may vary by the city. Read below about the most important types of it such as SHED, PERGOLA, CABANA, CARPORT & DETACHED GARAGE.
Pergola:
A pergola is an outdoor structure typically made of wood or metal with an open framework, often used for providing shade or creating a decorative outdoor space. Unlike a fully enclosed building, pergolas have an open roof, usually supported by columns or posts.
In Ontario before building a pergola, it’s advisable to check to verify any specific requirements or restrictions that may apply in your area during your permit process.
Cabana:
A cabana is a small, typically seasonal structure located near a pool or outdoor recreational area. It is often used for changing, storing pool equipment, or providing shelter from the sun, and may include features like a small bathroom, kitchenette, or seating area.
In Ontario before constructing a cabana, it’s important to check for specific regulations and permit requirements, as they can vary depending on your location and the intended use of the structure during your permit process.
Carport:
A carport is a covered, open-sided structure typically used to protect vehicles from the elements, such as rain or snow. It is usually attached to a home or built as a freestanding structure with a roof supported by posts or columns.
As you know in Ontario it’s important to check for specific permit requirements and zoning restrictions to ensure compliance with all regulations during your permit process.
Detached Garage:
A garage is a structure used to store vehicles or other items, typically attached to or detached from a house. It can be a simple, standalone building or integrated into the home design with electrical, plumbing, or heating systems.
In Ontario you need to check to verify specific zoning and permit requirements for during your garage permit process.
Shed:
A shed is a small, typically single-story structure used for storage, gardening, or other purposes. It can be made from various materials such as wood, metal, or plastic.
In Ontario if your shed is large or involves structural changes (like a foundation or electricity), it must comply with Ontario’s Building Code.
It’s always important to check to ensure that you comply with any specific zoning or permit requirements before building a shed, as regulations vary by area during your permit process.
