Do I need a permit?

Important Public Notice

 

If you are planning any type of property improvements (interior/exterior), you may be wondering,

 

Do I need a permit?

(i.e: building, fencing, plumbing, decks, driveway and signs)

 

The Corporation of the Municipality of Wawa would like to remind all property owners that permits are required to ensure that proper services are provided to safeguard life, health, general public welfare and property values.

 

Any structure and/or addition larger than 100 square feet requires a building permit. Please note that grade stamp lumber needs to be used for all structure builds. Some projects may not require a building permit, examples of these projects are; sheds 100 square feet or less, unattached decks less than 24 inches in height, minor home repairs, etc.

 

Also, be mindful of zoning requirements and what is a permitted use on your land. You need to make sure you are building things in the right location on your land, as setbacks from property lines are extremely important to follow.

 

If you are unsure your project requires a permit or if you have any other questions, please contact Kevin Sabourin, Chief Building Official at [email protected] or 705-856-2244 ext. 228. He will gladly assist you!

 

Office hours are Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m., to 4:30 p.m. You may also get all permit applications on our website at www.wawa.cc
