If you are planning a renovation, addition, or new build in New Tecumseth, you should be aware that the Province of Ontario has updated the Application for a Permit to Construct or Demolish.
The new application is now in effect and must be used for all building permit applications.
These changes come from the province and help ensure applications comply with current rules under the Ontario Building Code.
Changes to the new form:
· References to Tarion / Ontario New Home Warranty Program have been removed
· There is a new section for the New Home Construction Licensing Act builder or vendor license number (for new homes)
· If you already know who your builder will be, you are encouraged to include that information on your application.
Builders, designers, and homeowners must use the new provincial form starting immediately.
Using an old version of the building permit may delay your permit review.
You can find the updated form, application requirements, and helpful guides at newtecumseth.ca/BuildingPermit
