Permit Questions
Frequently asked building permit questions.
Every project is different, but these answers explain some of the most common questions homeowners, contractors and property owners have before starting the permit process.
Have a project-specific question?
Tell us about your property and proposed work so we can help identify the next appropriate step.
Ask About My ProjectHow do I know whether my project needs a building permit?
A building permit may be required when work involves structural changes, additions, new buildings, plumbing alterations, secondary suites, decks, garages or a change in the use of a property.
Requirements vary by project and municipality, so the scope of work and property information should be reviewed before construction begins.
What drawings are normally required for a building permit?
Depending on the project, a permit application may require site plans, floor plans, elevations, building sections, construction details and structural information.
Additional documentation may be required when zoning, grading, mechanical systems, plumbing, energy efficiency or other technical matters form part of the project.
Can you help with both the drawings and the permit application?
Building Permit Group can assist with project review, permit drawing preparation, organizing application documents and responding to municipal drawing comments within the agreed project scope.
How long does it take to receive a building permit?
The overall timeline depends on the project type, completeness of the application, zoning compliance, required approvals, municipal workload and whether revisions are requested.
Preparing a coordinated and complete submission can help reduce avoidable delays, but approval dates cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if the municipality requests changes?
A municipal examiner may issue comments asking for clarification, additional information or revisions to the drawings.
The comments must be reviewed, the applicable documents updated and the revised material resubmitted for further examination.
Do permit requirements differ between Ontario municipalities?
Ontario projects are generally governed by provincial legislation and the Ontario Building Code, but application procedures, zoning rules, required forms, fees and local submission systems can differ by municipality.
Visit our municipality service pages for location-specific information as those resources are published.
Can I begin construction before the permit is issued?
Work that requires a building permit should generally not begin until the required permit has been issued. Starting work prematurely may result in enforcement action, added costs or required corrections.
What information should I provide for an initial review?
Helpful information includes the property address, a description of the proposed work, photographs, existing drawings, measurements and any documents previously received from the municipality.
The information above is general and does not replace a project-specific review, municipal direction or professional legal, engineering or zoning advice.
