Understanding the permit requirements is crucial when planning a renovation to avoid delays or legal issues. Depending on the scope and structural impact, a building permit may be necessary to ensure the project complies with local regulations. At Maserat, our experienced project managers guide you through this process and advise on when permits are needed.
Obtaining a Building Permit
To start, homeowners must apply at their local district office. The permit process includes reviewing plans to ensure compliance with the Ontario Building Code, zoning by-laws, and other relevant regulations. Fees will vary based on the project type and size.
Additional permits, such as HVAC, plumbing, or demolition permits, may be required for more extensive renovations. Knowing which permits are needed and how to apply can save time and prevent costly setbacks.
Monitoring Your Permit Application
Toronto’s online system allows homeowners to track building permit applications. Permits are generally valid for the duration of construction, but if work hasn’t started or has paused, extensions can be requested.
Common Renovations That Require Permits
In Ontario, permits are required for various projects, such as:
Structural changes, including additions, garages, and underpinning foundations
Installing or modifying HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems
Constructing new entrances, windows, or fireplaces
Demolishing part or all of a structure
Renovations That Don’t Require Permits
Not all renovations require a permit. Routine updates like replacing doors without altering openings, patching, painting, or installing cabinets typically don’t need formal approval.
