Other Applications and Requirements

When you are ready to build there may be other applications in addition to the building permit that you need. For example: 

Entrance Permits

An entrance permit must be in place either from the Ministry of Transportation (Highway 7), County of Lanark or Tay Valley Township prior to the issuance of a building permit. Final inspection of the entrance permit must be completed before occupancy is permitted in new construction projects.

Civic Addressing

Civic addresses are assigned at the time a new lot (severance or subdivision) is established and when an entrance is being created or changed, whether or not there is a structure on the property. A civic address must be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Septic Permits

Before building or renovating your home, cottage or business you must consult with the septic office to determine if a permit is required. Your sewage system permit must be approved before a building permit can be issued.

Planning Review

Prior to the issuance of a building permit your project will undergo a planning review to ensure compliance with the Zoning By-Law, Official Plan and any other by-laws. It is a legal requirement that all applicable law be addressed before a building permit is issued.

Development Charges

All lands, buildings and structures located within the Township are subject to development charges. Development charges must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Development charges are payable to both the Township and the County.
