Thinking of building, adding onto, or renovating your house? We are here to help protect your investment by making sure it conforms to the latest building codes and zoning requirements.
Any building larger than ten square meters in area requires a building permit prior to construction. The steps involved in getting a building permit are:

1. Submit a site plan to the Development Officer so that we can ensure the building complies with the zoning by-law:
a. How close is the building to the property boundaries?
b. How close is the building to the nearest body of water?
c. Is the building a permitted use in its zone?
If the building does not comply, a variance or conditional use order from Council may be required before a building permit can be issued. The Development Officer can help you determine whether you need a variance or conditional use order, and assist you in applying for one.
Making an appointment is recommended before coming to the office for a meeting.
2. Submit your building design to the Building Inspector.
Our Building Inspector can answer your questions pertaining to building requirements in the municipality. Making an appointment is recommended.
​Subdivisions
Please contact the Development Officer with any questions you have about the subdivision process. Additional information is found in the South Riding Mountain Planning District Development Plan.
A complete set of plans is required for major building projects. An engineer's stamp may be required depending on the project.
