- New construction, repairs and renovation building permits

- Change of use building permit
- Well and Septic Systems
- Entranceways

Building permits allow the municipality to protect the interests of both individuals and the community. By reviewing building plans before any work is done, the municipality can ensure that buildings comply with the Building Code Act, Ontario Building Code, Conservation Authorities, and the local planning department, official plan and zoning by-laws.
When do I Need a Building Permit?
Building without a permit can result in costly fines. If you are unsure whether or not your structure requires a permit, contact our Building Department.
Call Before You Dig
If you are planning to dig, build or excavate, it is important that you locate all of your utility lines first. In fact, under Ontario regulations, it is the law. To have municipal infrastructure located, please contact Ontario One Call to register your locate request.

Development Charges
In 2016, the Town implemented Development Charges. Development Charges apply to the areas known as South Wiarton and Outside of South Wiarton - both areas are in and immediately around the community of Wiarton. Development Charges are due upon the issuance of a building permit - some exceptions apply.
