Frequently asked questions

What works are considered 'minor'?
It depends on the municipality, but typically include interior renovations without structural impact, window and door replacement, facade painting, and small repairs. Works that affect structure, facade or increase surface area require a major permit.
Can I start work before getting the permit?
No. Starting without a permit can result in fines and an order to stop work. In the case of prior communication, you may be able to begin on the same day as submission in many cases.
