Etobicoke office permits use Toronto’s process

Toronto’s non-residential alteration guide is the local starting point for an office fit-out in Etobicoke.

The guide addresses work within an existing building and proposals that may change its use. Gather the existing and proposed layout and describe the business activity accurately. Confirm the required design documents and reviews for the actual space before committing to work that depends on approval.

Bring these details into the conversation

• Confirm the existing and proposed use
• Gather building information
• Assign application responsibilities

Prepare the actual project information

Local requirements depend on the address, existing building and proposed work. Gather the available drawings, a clear description of the intended use and photographs that show the relevant conditions. Use those facts when discussing the project with the municipality and appropriate advisers.

Keep approvals connected to the work

Confirm who will prepare documents, submit applications and coordinate any required inspections. Keep the current approved information available during construction, and review changes before assuming an earlier approval covers a revised proposal. Business contact hours do not override permitted construction hours.
