Why do I need a Building Permit?


By applying for a building permit, you will ensure that:

q     The construction, as proposed, will meet the Building Code standards and other municipal requirements such as zoning and heritage.

q     Your project meets minimum structural, fire, health and safety, building standards as legislated by the Province.

Although you may authorize your contractor or designer to apply for the permit on your behalf, this does not reduce your responsibilities under the Act. You must ensure your contractor or designer obtains a building permit before the commencement of any construction, renovation or demolition activity.

Your responsibility continues through the construction process. The Ontario Building Code requires the permit holder or the owner of the property to give notice to the Building Inspector of the readiness for inspection at specific stages of construction. (Contact information and required inspections will be included with your permit.)

Persons who construct without a Building Permit, where a Building Permit is required, are in violation of the Ontario Building Code Act. The Ontario Building Code is designed to ensure that minimum health and safety standards, including fire protection standards, are incorporated into the design and construction of every building in Ontario. When work proceeds by a contractor without benefit of a Building Permit, there is no independent third-party review by a certified Building Official, for the benefit of the property owner, to help ensure that work is being done in accordance with the Ontario Building Code. Your insurance may not cover claims that may arise as a result of construction undertaken without a permit. Safety standards may be omitted to your detriment and any occupant (present and future) of the building.
