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
