Permit lookup

Find the permit rule for your project.

Choose a municipality and project. We’ll show the clearest rule we could verify and link you to the city source.

If the official material does not support a clear yes or no answer, we will tell you to confirm the project with the municipality.

Choose a city and project to start.

Why some answers say “confirm with the city”

Permit rules can depend on project size, location, zoning, setbacks, heritage rules, trade permits and property-specific conditions. When the city does not publish a clear rule for every situation, we do not guess.

A “no building permit” result is intentionally narrow. It means the official source supports that outcome for the details entered. Zoning, development, trade, engineering and other property-specific rules can still apply.
