3. To begin the building permit process, you need to fill out the Application for Building Permit FORM A to Bylaw 2-2006.  Fill it out as completely as possible.  If there are sections that do not apply to your construction project please put "NA" on that line.

4. Please include blueprints of the proposed building with you permit application.

5. Please provide a diagram of how the building will fit on your lot and what the exact setbacks from the property lines will be.

For the minimum setbacks for buildings on lake lots please refer to Set Back Requirements.

Setbacks on storage lots are a minimum of two feet from all four sides of the storage lot.

8. 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.
