2 THE MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBTON SHORES A HOMEOWNER'S GUIDE TO BUILDING PERMITS Welcome to the Municipality of Lambton Shores Building Department. The following information is provided to assist you with the building permit application process. PLEASE NOTE - Information provided in the application, other than personal information, is subject to the Municipal Freedom of Information and the Protection of Privacy Act requirements. WHAT IS A BUILDING PERMIT? A building permit is a formal approval to construct, add to, move or remove a building on your property. The Ontario Building Code Act requires that a building permit be obtained for the construction of a new structure, or an addition or alteration of any structure which results in a building area of more than 1 O m 2 (108 square feet). Please note that it is illegal to construct or demolish a structure without first obtaining a building permit. Anyone found guilty of building without a permit or has not followed an order issued by a Building Official can be fined under the Ontario Building Code Act. WHY DO I REQUIRE A PERMIT? Building Inspections protect the interests of both the individual and the community as a whole. The Building Department ensures that all construction in the municipality meets the Building Code's minimum standards for fire and structural safety standards. The review by a qualified individual also ensures the plans comply with the regulations of the local municipal zoning by-laws as well as all other applicable laws and regulations. Please note: If the contractor or designer obtains the building permit on your behalf, it is still the building/property owner who is ultimately responsible for complying with all building requirements. WHEN IS A BUILDING PERMIT REQUIRED? Examples of works that require a building permit: Construct a new building Solar panels installed on buildings Renovate, repair or add to a building Demolish or remove all or a portion of a building

4 THE MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBTON SHORES A HOMEOWNER'S GUIDE TO BUILDING PERMITS WHAT DOES THE PERMIT APPLICATION CONSIST OF? As of July 1, 2005, building permit applications submitted to municipalities must use the provincially mandated building permit application form. In addition to the "Application for a Permit to Construct or Demolish", there are Schedules for "Designer Information", "Sewage System Installer information", and "Plumbing Information". Assistance with these forms can be obtained from the Building Inspector. As an application can not be considered until it is "complete" there is a check list provided o assist the applicant when completing the documentation. WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE I APPLY? It is very important to first inquire at your Municipal Office as to whether or not the construction you are proposing complies with the Municipal Zoning By-law. If it does not, you must then decide if you wish to proceed with the variance or amendment process - estimated time for an application to be processed, including required notice and appeal periods O weeks. Details of this process can be obtained at the Forest Municipal Office. In order for your building permit to be processed in a timely manner, it is important to ensure that all requirements of outside agencies have been met BEFORE you submit your application. These requirements could include a septic tank permit, approval of the Ministry of Transportation, or if your property is within a regulated area, a permit from the Conservation Authority. These permits must be obtained and submitted with the building permit application. WHAT OTHER INFORMATION MAY BE REQUIRED? HVAC (Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning) CALCULATION - When building a new house, or if the planned renovations involve updating the heating or air conditioning systems, the homeowner is required to submit an HVAC calculation completed by a qualified HVAC technician. PLANS - the Inspector requires 2 sets of building plans (floor plans, elevations and cross sections, roof trusses, and heating as appropriate) for both large projects and smaller projects such as a garage or similar accessory buildings. SEPTIC TANK INSPECTIONS - For those properties serviced with private septic systems, a septic review will be required if the proposed addition exceeds 15% of the existing area. In addition, a septic review will also be required if a planning approval is necessary prior to proceeding (ie. minor variance, consent, zone amendment). Inspection fee: $ (payable to the County of Lambton)

5 THE MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBTON SHORES A HOMEOWNER'S GUIDE TO BUILDING PERMITS IS A PERMIT REQUIRED TO DEMOLISH A BUILDING?

This inspection/permit fee is $ in addition to the demolition permit fee, if applicable. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A BUILDING PERMIT? When an application is submitted, the Building Inspector has 10 business days to review the submission. If all the required information is provided, (including the septic tank permit, if applicable) the building permit will be issue within the 1 Oday review period. If during the review, the application is deemed incomplete, the applicant will be notified as soon as possible of the documentation needed.

7 THE MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBTON SHORES A HOMEOWNER'S GUIDE TO BUILDING PERMITS Please note, the inspector must be able to see the part of the work to be inspected. Failure to have inspections performed may result in having to uncover and expose work for inspection. Inspections must be booked at least 48 hrs in advance.

This is to ensure that the foundation is located in compliance with the zoning requirements.

Grading Certificate - Before the final inspection, a grading compliance letter will need to be submitted if required in the subdivision agreement. Home Insurance - during renovations, you may want to consider "home renovation" insurance for the duration of the construction as such coverage is often not part of a standard homeowner's policy. Restrictive Covenants - In addition to municipal requirements, development in certain subdivisions is subject to "restrictive covenants". Restrictive covenants are part of an agreement between the developers and the land purchaser. Property Owners are encouraged to review their deed and/or contact the resident association in the area to determine any additional building requirements. Asbestos testing - Homeowners should be aware of the potential requirement to have their homes tested for the presence of asbestos dependent upon the vintage of their home. If asbestos is present, it must be removed before construction commences. asbestos.html DID YOU KNOW... that on the Building Permit application form, a toilet is referred to as a "water closet"?? and R.W.L. stands for rain water leader.
