Building Standards

The Building Standards department issues permits for the construction, renovation, demolition and re-zoning of buildings. It also issues permits for the installation, alteration, extension or repair of onsite sewage systems, plumbing systems and mechanical systems such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

Through reviewing and issuing building permits, the City of Vaughan can ensure buildings are safe and that they meet the Ontario Building Code, the City’s Zoning By-law, and other planning controls and laws.

NEW Building By-law #050-2018, including new fee schedule, comes into effect January 1, 2019 replacing current By-law 044-2015.
