Upon receiving your completed building permit application for construction on cottage lots, the information is submitted to our building inspector, He may have further requests for changes to your proposed building. After these requests are met and the setbacks on the proposed buildings are approved, the permit will be given final approval from Council. You can then begin building. It is important to note that these building permits are only passed at regular council meetings. We only have ten meetings per year, so please submit building permit requests well in advance of when you would like to begin building.
