Toronto Building Inspections conducts mandatory inspections of construction work to ensure compliance of proposed construction with the Building Code Act and the issued building and demolition permits. Toronto Building Inspections also undertakes investigations and enforcement actions when required (e.g., investigating unsafe building conditions and undertaking work without a building permit). 

Make sure you review and comply with the Construction Site Requirements & Good Neighbour Guidelines before you begin construction.

Note: Property owners are required to schedule a final inspection upon completion of their project to close the permit. Open permits may impede future real estate transactions and/or complicate future applications for building permits.
