Frequently asked questions

What works are considered 'minor'?
This varies by municipality, but typically includes interior renovations without affecting the structure, window and door replacements, facade painting, and minor repairs. Works that affect the structure, facade, or increase surface area require a major license.
Can I start work before getting the permit?
No. Starting work 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 day it is submitted in many cases.
