Local Requirements

Key considerations for Toronto

  • 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.

  • Toronto's Express review stream is available for eligible small residential projects.
