Obtaining a Permit
How do I get a Permit?
- Call for the Zoning regulations for your area
- Sketch out your site plan showing where the building is going to be placed on your property
- Bring your site plan and engineered drawings of the building to be constructed to TCPD and apply for a permit; a fee payment is required (see Fee Schedule).
- Inform TCPD as to when construction is to start (prior to the pouring of concrete)
- Inspections are made when asked for by the builder/owner and at stages predetermined by the inspector.
- If all requirements are met, a permit will be issued
Failure to Obtain Permit
Where a permit is required and where a permit has not been obtained prior to the commencement of the actual work, the fees shall be double the normal rate upon first notice of failure. Should negligence to obtain a permit result in prosecution, a restitution fee of up to $1,000.00 shall be imposed.
If the construction does not comply with the Manitoba Building Code requirements, costly repairs may be required to bring the project up to code. Work that cannot be done to comply will require removal at your expense.
Permit Refund
Whenever a permit is surrendered for cancellation within six months of obtaining the permit, a refund of the fees paid shall be made after deducting $100.00 plus any inspection fees.
