Permits, materials and planning for work on a York Region home, inside and out. Written from the rules your town publishes, with the sources named.
Latest · Permits
East Gwillimbury, Newmarket, Aurora and King each draw the line for a deck permit in a different place. Here is what each building office asks for, what has changed, and what to have ready before you apply.
How these are written
The rules for building in Ontario are public, and scattered over a dozen offices. These articles gather the ones that bear on a project and say where each came from.
A permit threshold or a by-law is quoted from the town or provincial page that publishes it. The office is named in the text, and every source is linked at the foot of the article.
Rules change. Every article carries the day it was published, so you know which year’s rules it describes.
An article can tell you what the published rule says. Whether your project needs a permit is the building office’s call, so take your design to them before work starts.
