Notice of Council Meeting - March 6, 2019 Z01/2018
Effective January 1, 2019, Building Services including applications for Building permits, requests for inspections and all other building inquiries will be provided by Township Staff at the Municipal Office.
Currently, the Township of Chatsworth provides Building Services (ie. inspections, permits, etc.) through a Shared Services Agreement with the Municipalities of West Grey and Grey Highlands.
If you are interested in building in the Township of Chatsworth and would like to discuss your project, a Building Official can meet with you at the Township office. Please contact us at 519-794-3232, Ext. 128 or building@chatsworth.ca to arrange a consultation. You may also contact the Chief Building Official, Joint Building Services at 226-909-0668.
Building permits allow the Township to protect the interests of both individuals and the community as a whole. By reviewing and approving building plans before any work is done, the Township can ensure that buildings comply with the Building Code, which sets standards for the design and construction of buildings to meet objectives such as health, safety, fire protection, accessibility and resource conservation; the local Zoning By-law and other planning controls, and other applicable legislation, including conservation authority approvals and certain requirements under the Environmental Protection Act.
