Building and Renovating
Why is permit a required?
It is essential to get a permit BEFORE beginning the work to ensure compliance with the Town of Hampstead’s urban planning by-laws and safety and security standards.
Getting a permit is a way of protecting the collective and individual interests of Town residents.
The homeowner is responsible for getting a permit when necessary.
A permit is required for most work. It is strongly recommended to contact the Urban Planning Division in order to validate the need to get a permit for the work you are intending to do.
