The Tay Valley Township Building Department issues building permits, reviews construction and development plans, and performs onsite project inspections.

The Building Department’s mandate is to promote and assist development in compliance with the regulations established by the Ontario Building Code, Tay Valley Township’s Zoning By-law and all other applicable by-laws.

If you plan to begin a construction project, we recommend you contact our office in your early planning stages, so we can help identify the steps and rules for your consideration and this will avoid potential costly delays and disappointments.

If you are unsure whether you require a building permit, contact the Building Department. It is the property owner’s responsibility to obtain a building permit prior to any construction launch or alterations.

The Chief Building Official (CBO) is Ed Freeborn. Appointments can be made with the Planner or CBO through the Administrative Assistant, Janie Laidlaw at 613-267-5353 ext.129.
