Property Information Requests (Freedom of Information)

Request for permit application plans (drawings)

The City of Vaughan maintains records of building permit plans; however, it is not guaranteed that all records are available. Archived plans are located at an offsite facility and may take up to a week* to retrieve. A request must be made through the Building Standards department by owners (proof of ownership required) or authorized agents (letter of authorization from the owner required) of the property. This documentation must be submitted with a non-refundable retrieval fee.

Once drawings are retrieved, a Citizen Service Representative (CSR) will contact the requestor to discuss their copying needs and additional fees that may be required.

Request for property information

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.

Request for property surveys

A property survey is a document that outlines the property boundaries and the size of a lot. To request a search of the City’s records for a property survey must be made by the owner (proof of ownership required) or authorized agents (letter of authorization from the owner required) of the property. It is not guaranteed that the survey for the property will be in City records – a non-refundable retrieval fee is required for this service. A Citizen Service Representative (CSR) will contact the requestor to discuss if the survey is found, and any additional fees that may be required for copying.
