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.
