When is a Building Permit Required

Building permits are required to:

·        Construct any new building or structure

·        Construct a new accessory building over 10 m2

·        Make alternations, additions or repairs to an existing building or structure

·        Locate or relocate a manufactured or mobile home on a lot

·        Remodel or construct a deck

·        Install or alter plumbing within a building or structure

·        Install a new chimney or fireplace

·        Install a wood stove, fireplace insert or solid fuel burning appliance

·        Enclose your carport or change your garage to living space

·        Change the use/occupancy of an existing building (i.e. from storage to residential).

NOTE: A detached accessory building less than 10 m2 (107.6 ft2) is exempt from requiring a Building Permit, but must still meet setback requirements specified in the Zoning Bylaw.

If you are unsure whether your project will require a permit, please contact Building Inspection Services
