The Building Division maintains a file on most properties that includes Building Code or by-law-related permits, inspections, orders, notices, and deficiencies relating to construction activity and by-law matters related to that property. If you need to know more information about your property and if it complies with the Ontario Building Code or the City's zoning by-laws, you will need to submit a request for a legal inquiry (building and zoning compliance).
Information contained in a property file can only be released to the property owner or a lawyer acting on behalf of an owner. If you are not the property owner, you must submit a signed release form from the property owner.
When submitting a request for zoning and building compliance, please note that we will only accept a written letter in the form of a PDF or physical letter signed. This can be emailed to building@orillia.ca or by mail. Please note to include all information that is required to know about the property in your request. For further questions on this, please contact the Building Division.
