It’s a crucial step that involves the review of your plans by Toronto Building staff, ensuring compliance with the Ontario Building Code, local Zoning By-laws, and other applicable laws. This process is vital for:
- Ensuring Safety: A building permit ensures that your project adheres to safety standards, protecting everyone involved.
