Key considerations for Vaughan
Detached garages and carports require a permit when over a minimum floor area threshold.
Attached garages require fire separation from the dwelling and may need a vapor barrier.
Lot coverage must be calculated including all existing accessory structures.
Driveway and lot grading impacts must be shown on the site plan.
Vaughan uses its own Comprehensive Zoning By-law (By-law 1-88), not Toronto's bylaw.
