Landscape Construction
How much you want to spend? What do you want? When do you want to do it?
When is a permit not required?
Typically, a structure does NOT need a permit when:
- Is under 10 m2 (107 sq. ft.), and
- It is not attached to a house (see additions), and
- Is not in the front yard, and
- It meets the height restrictions.
Back yard parking pads typically don't require a permit, but if you would like to build a garage Engineering involvement is required for slabs over 55 square meters.
If your project does not meet these criteria, you will need a permit.
