The City of Vaughan maintains records of building permit plans and blueprints, however, it is not guaranteed that all records are available.

 

Requests to retrieve plans from archives require proof of ownership or a letter from the owner giving the requestor permission to access the plans for a property. This documentation must be submitted with a retrieval fee.

 

Archived plans are not on site at Vaughan City Hall and may take up to a week to retrieve from the offsite storage. The retrieval fee is non-refundable if there are no plans on file.

 

Once drawings are retrieved, the City will contact the requestor to come in and view them – copies of the plans may be requested at this time. If the drawings are large, they will be sent for copies off-site and a copying fee will apply.

 

Please submit the Permit Plans - Access Request Form (PDF) to the Building Standards Department.

Additional property information such as past building permit inspection notes, past building permit application forms, orders to comply, etc. can be requested through the Building Standards department by owners or authorized agents of the property. All other requests must be made through Access and Privacy in the Office of the City Clerk – a retrieval fee (non-refundable) is required for this service.

A property survey is a document that outlines the property boundaries and the size of a lot.

 

Requests to search the City’s property records for a survey of a property may be made by owners or authorized agents of the property. It is not guaranteed that the survey for the property will be in City records – a retrieval fee (non-refundable) is required for this service. If the survey is found, an additional copying charge applies.
