HOW DOES THE APPROVAL PROCESS WORK?

Each building permit application undergoes a Zoning review, an Ontario Building Code construction standards review and all other applicable law is taken into consideration. Building Services staff will inform you if additional approvals are required before a building permit can be issued.

Projects that do not comply with the Zoning By-law or the Official Plan as determined by the Chief Building Official will be referred to the Sudbury East Planning Board.

Additional approval agencies may include but are not limited to: Engineering Services, Fire Services, Sudbury & District Health Unit, Conservation Authority, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Electrical Safety Authority or Hydro One.

The property owner is responsible for obtaining required approvals from all agencies and authorities. A building permit cannot be issued until all requirements have been met to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official.
