Building Application Process

Once a complete building application is received by Building Services, and all required documents have been received in proper order, our Staff will review an application according to the following Ontario Building Code Act mandated timelines:

  • 10 business days for a residental building permit application;
  • 15 business days for a small commercial building permit application; and
  • 30 business days for a large commercial building permit application.

We are mandated by the province to communicate to the applicant, in writing, why we can or cannot issue a building permit.
