Permit rules by project

Pick the project that matches your work. These are starting rules for Longueuil; property-specific zoning, heritage and trade approvals can still apply.

Decks

Permit required

Longueuil’s online permit portal lists construction or modification of balconies, galleries, porches and other platforms at all published height bands as permit/certificate application work.

Sheds & accessory buildings

Permit required

Longueuil’s online portal lists installation, construction or modification of a shed, pavilion or greenhouse as permit/certificate application work.

Basement renovations

Depends on scope

Longueuil’s portal distinguishes interior renovation routes with and without basement plumbing, so the exact permit path depends on scope.

Secondary suites & ADUs

Confirm with city

Longueuil provides property/project-specific residential application routing; does not force a single citywide secondary-suite outcome without the applicable zoning and dwelling context.

Interior alterations

Depends on scope

Longueuil requires permits/certificates for regulated renovation and transformation work, while repair or maintenance that does not change dimensions, form or architectural characteristics can be exempt outside listed exceptions.

Walls / structural work

Depends on scope

Longueuil’s permit portal covers transformation and renovation work; structural scope requires municipal review rather than being treated as simple repair.

Pools / hot tubs

Permit required

Longueuil’s online portal lists construction, installation or replacement of in-ground and above-ground/demountable pools as permit/certificate application work.

Plumbing / HVAC

Depends on scope

Longueuil’s portal separates renovation paths based on plumbing work, and under-slab plumbing/electrical work is specifically excluded from the ordinary repair exemption.

Fences

Depends on scope

Longueuil requires a permit/certificate for non-residential fences and fences in cited heritage sites, while ordinary residential rear/side-yard fencing is treated differently; pool fences have their own route.

Retaining walls

Confirm with city

Longueuil’s current permit portal routes site work and fill/excavation through municipal review, but the current City information does not give one retaining-wall height-only permit rule. Confirm the property-specific path.

Demolition

Permit required

Longueuil’s online portal provides permit/certificate application routes for demolition of principal and accessory buildings, with additional demolition-committee review where applicable.

Other approvals

Longueuil administers municipal permits/certificates and zoning. Regulated electrical/plumbing/heating/gas trade work also sits within Québec’s provincial contractor-licensing framework, so municipal authorization is not the only compliance layer. Province/authority source ↗
