To renovate the exterior of your building, you must comply with federal and provincial regulations as well as the applicable regulations in your borough. A permit is often required to carry out work.

The following factors determine the standards that you must meet:

• Type of work
• Scope of the work
• Façades affected by the work
• Nature of the building (single-family home, semi-detached, multiplex, etc.)
• Use of the building (residential, commercial, mixed, etc.)
• Borough in which the work will be performed
• Heritage status of the building or area

If you have any questions, please contact the permit counter in the borough where the work will be performed.
