Step 4: Enter Project Overview Information

Enter a short description of the work you are planning to do. This helps staff confirm that you selected the correct permit type.

Examples of what to include:

Renovations: What part of the building you are changing and what work is being done (for example: finishing a basement, replacing windows, renovating a kitchen).
Additions (including decks): Where the addition will be attached and what it will be used for (for example: adding a back deck, building a bedroom addition).
Change of Use: What the building is used for now and what it will be used for after the project (for example: changing a store into an apartment).
New Construction: What you are building and where it will be located on the property (for example: new single-family home, detached garage beside existing house).
Placing or Moving a Building (including mobile homes): Whether the building is new or being moved from another location. If it is being moved, include where it is coming from.
Projects without a building: Describe what is being installed (for example: sign, parking lot, telecommunications tower, wind turbine).
Swimming Pools: Indicate whether the pool is in-ground or above-ground and whether decking or fencing will be added.

You do not need to include measurements here if they are entered elsewhere in the application.

Next, enter the address where the work will take place.

Civic address is the civic address of the project site. There may not be one if there is no existing building on the site. When this is the case, please indicate so
You can type the address into the address box, or select your property directly from the map

Make sure the correct property is selected before continuing.
