Ontario permit application

Receiving a Zoning Certificate of Occupancy means that any change or new use of your property has been agreed in line with an Ontario town or city’s zoning bylaw. We’ve seen firsthand how vacant units have been transformed into care homes, restaurants, retail stores, and other facilities.

When you need to determine compliance with every zoning regulation in a town or city’s Zoning By-law, choose Lima Architects. We understand how zoning bylaws work and can realistically set your expectations when embarking on any change or new use for your property.

Receiving an approved building permit means that any construction change, renovation, or demolishment relating to your property has been given the green light in line with Ontario’s Building Code.

Ontario building permits are required for 99% of domestic renovation assignments, and the Lima Architects team understands them inside out. When you need construction sketches reviewed by municipal planning staff, Lima Architects can provide the professional assistance you need.

Here in Ontario, the Committee of Adjustment holds public hearings about variances to city zoning bylaws and land severances. When you want to make a written submission to the committee or want to participate in virtual public hearings, speak to Lima Architects first. We can successfully prepare you for such hearings so that you ask the right questions and get the answers you need.
