As part of the Ontario Building Code (OBC), you will need a building permit before you begin your next building or renovation project in the Municipality of Greenstone. As outlined in our Building By-law 01-58, permits help keep our community safe with set standards for health, fire and structure safety.
It is illegal to start work without a building permit.
