The Community Planning Act provides a mechanism that allows any person who is denied a development permit or subdivision project to appeal to the Assessment and Planning Appeal Board. The same right is also granted to anyone who wishes to oppose the fact that the Planning Department has approved a development or subdivision on someone else's land.
To learn more about the grounds for appeal and the deadlines within which you may file an appeal, you can contact the Assessment and Planning Appeal Board at:

It depends on the complexity of the project. For an accessory building (shed, garage, fence), the permit can often be issued the same day. For a house or a more complex building, the inspector must review the plans, and the permit may take a few days to process. In some cases, the development project may require additional permits or certificates from other government agencies, which can significantly delay the process. It is therefore recommended to apply as early as possible to avoid any inconvenience that could delay the start of your work.
Visit the Building Permit page to get all the necessary information.
Answer: Moving any existing building—whether it’s a house, a tiny home, a mobile home, a garage, a shed, etc. is considered a development and requires a permit. This is to ensure the project complies with current zoning regulations, such as the size and height of the building, the number of buildings allowed on the same property, and setbacks from the street, property lines, watercourses, wetlands, and more.
The vast majority of development or construction projects require a permit issued by the CRSC’s Planning Department. Exceptions are rare. Therefore, it is essential to contact the department before starting any project. Only authorized staff from the Planning Department can provide accurate information. Do not rely on anyone else, as each case is unique and regulations can vary from one municipality to another.
Any project carried out without a permit is considered a violation of the Community Planning Act and may result in legal action, including severe penalties such as fines or even the demolition of unauthorized work.
Moreover, the Department Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour will not issue any electrical connection permit without a valid copy of the development or building permit.
While a property owner may authorize another person—such as a contractor—to apply on their behalf, it remains the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the permit has indeed been issued before the start of construction, and that it is clearly displayed at the worksite for the full duration of the project.
