Building and Renovating

On these pages, you will find information regarding the permit process associated with all types of building applications, houses, farm buildings, garages, sheds, decks and septic systems.  Follow the links to the right to access information about Building Permits, Development Charges, Inspections, Municipal Addressing and Septic Systems.

The Building Department does not provide design or construction advice. The owner/builder is responsible to follow the requirements of the Ontario Building Code. It is recommended that applicants enlist the services of design professionals to aid in the preparation of the required documents for a building permit.
