Permits in Markham, plainly

The City of Markham has its own zoning by-law and building department. Here is what that means for your project.

  • Any addition to a house needs a building permit, whatever its size
  • Markham's Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2024-19 sets what you can build. Past its limits, the design needs a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment first
  • The City aims to review a complete house application within 10 business days, or 20 if the application is incomplete
  • We prepare the drawings, the engineering and the application, and answer the examiner's comments. See the City's building permit process
