Buildings under 15m2 that are only used for storage do not require a building permit. These buildings must still comply with the zoning bylaw and a small building compliance review is required once your small building is constructed.
The following items will generally be required as part of an application for a permit to construct a garage, shed or deck, as well as any interior or exterior renovations or additions. If you're unsure, we can review these requirements in your preconsultation meeting.
- Building permit application form (above) and the $115 base fee.
- Drawings, specifications and documents to determine compliance with the Ontario Building Code and applicable laws.
- Stamped engineered drawings, as required.
- A complete site plan with lot lines, location of buildings, and building setback measurements.
- Grading plan.
- Energy Efficiency Design Summary (for addition projects only).
