A building permit application consists of many documents. The attached forms must be completed, signed, and dated.
Drawings and Documents
Drawings are to be legible and to scale. Use a ruler or computer-aided drafting (CAD) software to complete your drawings. Provide enough information and detail to ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code.
The Ontario Building Code is available online under the Regulations tab under this act.
Building Department staff are not permitted by law to provide design advice. It is the responsibility of the property owner or authorized agent to complete a design that meets the requirements of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and the Building Code Act (BCA).
If you are unable to complete the application and provide the required documents, you should retain a qualified designer to assist you in completing the application.
