Building Permits
A building permit is required prior to any construction or demolition. Building permits regulate types of construction allowed in the community and ensure building standards are met. The Township of Wainfleet reviews the plans to ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code Act, local Zoning By-Laws, and other applicable laws and regulations. The building permit process provides for construction of safe, legal and sound structures, protecting each homeowner's interests and those of the community at large.
You may apply for a building permit application at Cloudpermit.
