ELECTRICAL BUILDING PERMIT
INFO / FORM

Not sure if your project requires a permit?

Since June 2002, building permits are required for the construction of a new building or structure as well as the relocation, alteration or replacement of an existing building or structure.

As the homeowner, you are responsible for obtaining the necessary permit(s). If you choose to have your contractor take out a permit on your behalf, make sure that it's done before the project gets started.

Electrical building permits are issued when a home owner is doing electrical work “only” on an “existing building”. If you are making changes, relocating or demolishing a structure you require a full building permit application. 

Provincial regulation requires that an electrical building permit be acquired before your contractor or electrician can obtain their electrical wiring permit.  Therefore, make certain that you apply for your permit in advance of the date when work is intended to begin.
