Key considerations for Richmond Hill
Bathroom renovations involving plumbing relocation, electrical work, or structural changes require a permit.
Adding a new bathroom to the home requires a permit for the rough-in plumbing and electrical.
Replacing fixtures in the same location (toilet, sink, tub) without changing rough-in typically does not require a permit.
Wet area waterproofing to the OBC standard is required in shower and tub surrounds.
Richmond Hill's Zoning By-law 113-00 governs setbacks, lot coverage, and height limits.
