The application for Development Approval, more commonly known as a Building Permit, is required when the development proposal falls within Provincial jurisdiction.
If you want to construct a building, add an extension, renovate or put a mobile home on a lot, you will need a Building Permit. A site suitability assessment, used to determine if a parcel of land will support an on-site sewage disposal system, an entrance way permit, and a request for a culvert are also some of the permits that may be needed before construction can begin.
Before you start any construction, you will need municipal approval if your property is located in a community that has its own Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw.
