3. Submit your application through our new online software eBuild (link) or in-person at City Hall. The City will review your application to ensure it meets all building, heritage, zoning, landscaping, engineering, environmental, disposal, assessment, open space and utility regulations and/or bylaws.
4. Once your application is approved, you will receive an email advising you of the permit fee (be sure to check your junk mail folder). Payment can be made online for eBuild customers, over the phone, or at the permit counter on the main floor of City Hall. Please note, the permit is not issued until you have paid the fee. Once issued, the applicable permits and approved drawings will be sent to you via email and made visible through your eBuild account.
Zoning amendments in 2024 to support the implementation of the Housing Accelerator Funding (HAF) now allow up to 4 units to be developed on a single lot. An informational advisory has been developed for multi-family developments. It emphasizes the importance for interested customers to engage consultants early to navigate Building Code requirements, which differ from 1–2-unit developments.
Construction cannot begin until the permit is issued. If work starts prior to issuing of a building permit, you will be subject to a surcharge.
