Permits
Are you planning construction or renovation work on your property? Do you want to install a pool or hot tub in your yard? Contact the Permits and Inspections Division to ensure that your project complies with municipal by-laws.
Why do I need a permit?
To make sure the work meets City standards in terms of zoning, safety, architecture, quality of construction and environmental protection. In short, regulation through permit issuance promotes a safer, more harmonious urban environment.
A permit is required for:
- cutting down a tree
- watering
- authorization for use of drinking water (e.g., house washing, car washing, etc.)
- building a shed, a garage or a gazebo
- installing an above-ground or in-ground pool or a hot tub
- building a patio
- putting up a fence
- renovation or construction work
- etc.
You'll find more details on permit types in the permit application platform.
The complete by-laws can be found in the Urban Development Plan and By-laws section.
If you're not sure whether a permit is required for your work after consulting the online list of permits and by-laws, you can validate this information with the Division permis et inspections by e-mail or by calling 450-455-3371.
