New 2024 Ontario Building Code
The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has announced the release of the 2024 edition of Ontario's Building Code.
The 2024 Ontario Building Code will come into effect on January 1, 2025, with a three-month transition period that extends until March 31, 2025, for applications for which the working drawings were substantially complete before January 1, 2025.
Please review the Building Bulletin for more information on the Ontario Building Code.
The Building Division, under the Development Services and Engineering Department is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Building Code Act and the Ontario Building Code regulations to ensure minimum standards are achieved for all building construction including septic systems, change of use and demolitions.
Building Permits are necessary to ensure that zoning requirements, fire and structural safety standards, and other building standards are met. These standards are primarily in place to ensure occupants' safety.
For more information related to Building Permits, as well as construction projects that are exempt please visit our Building Permits page.
