Frequently asked questions

What works are considered 'minor'?
It depends on the municipality, but usually include interior renovations without affecting structure, door and window changes, facade painting, and minor repairs. Works that affect structure, facade, or increase surface area require a major work license.
Can I start the works before getting the permit?
No. Starting without a permit can result in a fine and an order to stop work. In the case of prior notification, you may be able to start immediately after submitting it in many cases.
