Open Building Permit Files that will be Archived

The Gravenhurst building department will be archiving building permits that are 3 years and older, with no record of activity in 2011.

As the property owner, please ensure that building inspections for permits on your property are carried out in a timely manner. A Final Inspection is always required, whether it was a minor permit to repair a deck or dock, a completion permit for construction that commenced prior to a permit being obtained or a major permit to construct a dwelling.  Outstanding inactive permits may cause difficulties at the time of selling your property, obtaining mortgages, severances, or transferring the property.   The fee to re-activate a  permit is $159.14  

If you had a contractor complete the work for you, but never received a final inspection report, the permit may still be open or inactive.  Please give us a call at 687-3412, to assist you.  If you have an open permit, with no inspections in the last 12 months, you may only need to request a permit extension.

You can also check your property on-line HERE  by inputting your roll number.  Your roll number can be found at the top of your tax bill.
