• Permit required

   

• Why get a permit?

  The purpose of obtaining a permit is to make sure your project adheres to all municipal by-laws. For every type of project, there are certain standards that must be met to ensure a harmonious urban environment. The inspector-technician’s job is to help you make your plans a reality.

  The inspector-technician will ensure that your work meets all Town standards related to zoning, architecture, construction quality and environmental protection. He or she will also explain all the documents you need to complete your request for a permit.

  If you start a project without a permit, you may receive a ticket. To avoid this situation, contact an inspector-technician right at the start.

• Submit a request

  Procedure:

  1. Contact your inspector-technician:
  - permis@villepincourt.qc.ca
  - 514 453-8981, ext. 332

  - Detailed plan of the project (dimensions, location, etc.)
  - Name of contractor and contact information

  3. The inspector-technician will review your application. If any information is missing, the inspector will contact you. Please allow up to 20 days for your permit to be issued.

  4. When the permit is ready, the Urban Planning Department will contact you to pick it up at Town Hall, sign it and proceed with payment.
