Looking to start your next building or renovation project in the Town of Blind River? Before you get started, review and complete the necessary building permits and applications to notify us about the details of your construction project, and ensure appropriate standards, code compliance and safety.

Before starting a building project

We recommend contacting us by email at info@blindriver.ca or by phone at 705-356-2251, ext. 206 before starting your project to arrange a pre-consultation meeting and learn what kinds of permits, applications and documents you will need before beginning work.

You can also view our building checklists, frequently asked questions and the Government of Ontario's website to learn more about what kinds of projects require permits, the permit application and approval process, what information is needed, and more. The Ontario Building Code Act outlines the roles of the property owner/project initiator, designer and builder.

We require a letter of authorization if you are a property owner looking to authorize someone to act on your behalf to get a permit. Please include your completed Authorization for Application for Building Permit by a Person other than Legal Owner with your permit submission if this is the case.
