Applying for a Building Permit
Whether you are building a new structure or renovating an existing one, the County of Brant is here to help.
Before ApplyingÂ
Part of the process for a building permit application is the review of Applicable Law. It is important to note that until Applicable Law is satisfied, a building permit application is not deemed complete and does not fall within the Statutory frames set out in the Building Code Act 1992. Before you apply for your permit you may want to consider the following:
A Lot Grading review and approval must be obtained before submitting a Building Permit application.
- View the Lot Grading webpage
Zoning By-laws determine the permitted uses of a property including such items as setbacks, lot coverage, and building height. It is important to ensure your proposed project complies with the Zoning By-law requirements before applying for your building permit. To determine the zoning of a specific property, view the County of Brant Zoning webpage and map.
Review the Applicable Laws Checklist to determine if your project is impacted.
Submit your Building Permit Application
To submit a building permit application customers will be asked to provide the forms, fees, and digital copies of the specified drawings and documents as outlined in the Building Permit Application packages.
