What is a building permit?
A building permit is a license which grants legal permission to start construction of a building. Permits allow the enforcement of codes, standards, and bylaws which have been adopted by the local or provincial governing body. The enforcement of the building code standards and bylaws is carried out to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The governing body which enforces the code is acting to assure safe construction.
Why a building permit?
A building permit provides the means for building officials to protect the public by reducing the potential hazards of unsafe construction and is therefore ensuring public health, safety, and welfare. A building permit helps the public understand what the local or provincial laws are in relation to the construction of a building. Before any construction or any re-modelling work begins applications for a permit should be made. The building permit provides the means for the building official to inspect construction, ensure minimum standards are met, and appropriate materials are used.
A building permit is required prior to most construction. A fee is charged for all building permits.
