Frequently asked questions

What works are considered 'small'?
It varies by municipality, but typically include interior renovations without affecting the structure, window and door replacements, facade painting, and minor repairs. Works that affect the structure, facade or increase the 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 pre-notification, you may be able to start on the same day you submit it in many cases.
