Building Permits

Building permits are required for all construction within the City in order to ensure construction is being done to code. The only construction that does not require a permit is:

• fences shorter than 6 feet (fences must be within the property lines and not block sight lines at intersections);
• ground-level patios and decks;
• storage sheds less than 10 square meters (107 square feet) in area; and
• minor renovations that do not involve a change to the structure or use of the building. These include repainting, residing, re-shingling, etc.
  

More information about building permits is available on the building standards page.
