Finding out what you need to do to get a building permit in Toronto can sometimes be confusing. If you’re thinking of building an addition, new home, or renovating an existing home in Toronto, you’ll usually need a building permit to do so.
Building permits are like a license to build in Toronto. They ensure that all buildings and structures, including additions, garages, decks, fences and even portable classrooms, meet the guidelines set by the city and adhere to zoning rules. A building permit is a document that identifies what construction work can be done at a property, and it also indicates how the work must be done. The Building Department issues building permits to help ensure that buildings in the City of Toronto are safe for people who use them. These permits also help make sure that owners do work without breaking city bylaws or harming their own property.
Building permits are a legal requirement if you are altering or building a new property from scratch. A building permit includes drawings of the proposed construction. It is important to draw up building plans for several reasons including fire safety, making sure your neighborhood will not be disrupted by your project, and to ensure that your project meets zoning regulations. For instance, you might want to waterproof a basement and may need to meet flood regulations in order to obtain a permit.
Yes, really really really. In almost all cases, when you’re doing substantial construction, renovations, repairs, or alterations to your home or property in Toronto, you will need a building permit.
There are a few select times a building permit may not be necessary, some notable ones include if you are:
A building permit is used to inform the public that you are going to be working on a property. A permit is essentially a notification sent out in the public’s best interest because they are forewarned of activities that they should be aware of. One cannot work on a property without first obtaining a building permit. Building permits in Toronto can also include information about making sure you’re always doing what’s safe and legal when it comes to working on a property or any building type.

The length of time it takes to get the permit varies according to the type of work you want to do, and your location in the city. In Toronto, it is necessary to have a building permit before any construction or renovation begins. Smaller projects, like residential renovation or construction, may only take a small number of weeks to get your documents drafted and processed, while large-scale commercial projects may take a few months to get approval.
Because of how different every construction project is, building permits can vary notably in price depending on the job. A building permit can cost anywhere from $200 to $2500 depending on the project’s location, scope, specific requirements, and more.
We always give our customers fair and reasonable prices for their building permits. To find out how much your project could cost, contact us today for a quote.
