Request a revision to your permit, replace a permit if it’s lost, or cancel a permit.
Revise permit
If you have been issued a building permit but need to change your scope of work you’ll need either a “field revision” or a formal “revision application.”
Talk to your inspector to find out what type of revision you’ll require. If you’re not sure who your inspector is or how to contact them, please call 905-615-4311.
Submit revision application
Formal revision applications should be submitted as a new “building permit” request in ePlans. When creating the request refer to your original building permit number and use the description “REVISION TO 18-####.” Additional fees will be required.
You’ll need to upload these documents:
- A cover letter summarizing and listing all changes
- Updated drawings and/or documents that reflect the revised work. You don’t have to upload all of your drawings again, only submit the files that show changes.
Replace permit
If you lose your building permit you can request a duplicate. Additional fees will be required. Please contact us online.
Transfer permit
If you wish to transfer an issued building permit to a new owner, contact us online.
You may be asked to provide:

The cost to transfer an issued permit is $201.
To obtain a copy of the approved drawings, you will need to submit a Freedom of Information request or coordinate with the applicant.
