Important Notes:
A building permit is required for all buildings over 10 square meters or 107.639 square feet in size.
Construction that starts without an approved building permit will be charged double the permit fee as a penalty.
No inspections will be performed on any projects without an approved building permit.
When the building permit has been approved by MSTW, the applicant will receive a list of all the inspections required.
The full deposit will be refunded when the project is complete if all the inspections that are required have been completed.
Review if you are subject to the Capital Lot Levy By-Law (23BL.07).
