Building Permit Applications: Tips and Guidelines

  • The proposed use of the building(s) must conform to the uses permitted in the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw, and to the provisions in Bylaw 07-18; a bylaw for the purpose of issuing building permits and establishing a schedule of fees.
  • A permit for construction on a vacant property is subject to an entrance permit and/or driveway requirements. Please inquire at the municipal office if your property has no approved access from a public road. Access from a provincial highway is subject to approval from the Ministry of Transportation.
  • A permit for a residential dwelling or residential addition/renovation is subject to the Timiskaming Health Unit septic approval, to confirm sufficient capacity of new and existing sewage systems. Health Unit forms are available at the Municipal office for your convenience.
  • All applications for building permits must be accompanied by a site plan; indicating setbacks from property lines, other structures, road, etc., as well as a floor plan of the proposed building.
