CLASSES OF PERMITS - Classes of permits with respect to the construction,
demolition and change of use of buildings shall be as set out below.
a) Building & Demolition Permits
No person shall construct or demolish a building or cause a building to be constructed
or demolished within the geographic limits of the Town of Iroquois Falls unless a
permit has been issued therefore by the Chief Building Official.
No person shall carry out plumbing unless a building permit has been issued by the
Chief Building Official (see Schedule "F").
Exceptions to the above requirement for a building permit include structures required
for mining extraction purposes (e.g., head frames), underground structures including
fuel tanks, sheds less than 108 ft2 in area, and residential shingling (to include metal
roofs).
b) Partial Permit
When in order to expedite work, approval of a portion of the building or project is
desired prior to the issuance of a permit for the complete building or project,
application shall be made and fees paid for the complete project as well as fees
established by by-law for each stage of construction.
Complete plans and
specifications covering the portion of the work for which immediate approval is
desired shall be filed with the Chief Building Official.
Where a permit is issued for part of a building or project, this shall not be construed
to authorize construction beyond the plans for which approval was given nor that
approval will necessarily be granted for the entire building or project and such
applications are at the risk of the applicant.
c) Change of Use Permit
As per Subsection 10(1) of the Act, no person shall change the use of a building or
part of a building ( even though no construction is proposed) that would result in an

designate official of the completion of a building for which an occupancy permit is
required as per Section 1.3.3. of Division C of the Ontario Building Code.
e) Sign Permit
No person shall construct, repair, renew, and alter signage unless a permit has been
issued by the Chief Building Official. Signage relating to home occupations and
professions does not require a building permit.
f) Conditional Permit
Council authorizes the authority to issue conditional permits to the Chief Building
Official. This class of permit may be issued at the discretion of the Chief Building
Official to authorize any stage of construction, even though all of the requirements
under Subsection 8(2) of the Act have not been met. However, before issuing such
permits, the requirements of paragraphs 8(3)(a), (b), and (c) of the Act must be
complied with.
6.
REVISION TO PERMIT
After the issuance of a permit under the Act, notice of any material change to a plan,
specification, document or other information on the basis of which the permit was issued,
must be given in writing to the Chief Building Official together with the details of such
change. Any such change is not to be made without the written authorization of the Chief
Building Official.
7.
REVOCATION OF PERMITS
Pursuant to Subsection 8(10) of the Act, the Chief Building Official has the authority to
revoke a building permit. Generally, consideration will be given to revoking a permit, if
in the opinion of the Chief Building Official,
a) the permit was issued prematurely or in error;
b) construction or demolition activity on the site has not commenced within a six ( 6)
month period from the date the permit was issued;
c) construction activity has not proceeded in a meaningful way over a period of twelve
(12) months; and
d) the project has been abandoned by the applicant who has advised so in writing to the

applications must be accompanied by the required fee in order to be considered a
complete application.
An application is deemed to be incomplete where the Chief Building Official determines
within two (2) working days that the proposed work or change of use will not comply
with the Act, the Ontario Building Code, or any other applicable law. The Chief Building
Official may refuse an application if anything required by this Section is omitted or
submitted in an incomplete or unsatisfactory state at the time of application and written

9.1
EXISTING STRUCTURES ERECTED WITHOUT A BUILDING PERMIT
The Chief Building Official will not accept or consider building permit applications for
any existing structures erected without a building permit and that would otherwise require
an occupancy permit. Building permit applications will only be accepted in cases where
the applicant meets all of the requirements of Section 8 and 9 of this by-law.
In cases where the Town becomes aware of any existing structures built without a
building permit and that otherwise would have required an occupancy permit, the Town
shall ensure that any outstanding structural and other life safety items are remedied under
the Town's Property Standards by-law.
Under such circumstances, the Town will not undertake any inspections of the subject
building. The Town shall require the owner to retain a professional engineer and/or
architect to inspect the subject building and to prepare a report assessing the structural
soundness and safety of the subject building to ensure that the structure is in compliance
with the Property Standards By-Law.
The Town may also require a third party peer review be completed for the subject report
at the sole cost of the owner. The Town may then undertake an inspection(s) of the
subject building for the purposes of verifying that any remedial measures recommended
in the report have been completed.
In the event that an Engineer or Architect report identifies remedial measures to be
completed to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants, the owner shall be
required to submit a compete building permit application and to secure any required
building permits prior to any work being undertaken.
The Chief Building Official shall maintain an ongoing database of identified properties
that accommodate existing structures erected without a building permit. The purpose of
this database would be to serve public notice to prospective purchasers or their solicitors
advising of the status of such properties through building code compliance requests and
other property compliance requests and/or inquiries.
Building Code compliance relating to existing structures built without a building permit
and that would otherwise require an occupancy permit will be the sole responsibility of
the affected property owner and may be confirmed through completion of building
reviews by qualified engineers or architects.
To this end, the Town shall not review,
accept or offer any opinions with respect to such reviews and shall not consider or accept
building permit applications in such instances.
10.
EQUIVALENTS
Where an application for a permit or the authorization to make a material change to a
plan, specification, document or other information on the basis of which a permit was
issued, contains an alternative solution, the following documentation shall be provided of
the Chief Building Official:
a) the solution must identify an applicable objective, functional statement and
acceptable solutions;
b) describing a basis for past performance, establish tests of the solutions or other
evaluation of the solution; or
c) any other tests standards that provide comparable results to the recognized
standards in the Ontario Building Code
11.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Sufficient plans, specifications, documents and other information including a site plan,
shall be submitted with each application for a permit to enable the Chief Building Official
to determine whether or not the proposed construction, demolition or change of use will
conform with the Act, the Building Code any other applicable law.
Each application shall, unless otherwise specified by the Chief Building Official, be
accompanied by two complete sets of plans and specifications required under this by-law.
Plans shall be drawn to scale on paper, or other suitable and durable material; shall be
legible; and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall include such working
drawings as set out in Schedule "B" to this by-law unless specified by the Chief Building
Official.
In addition, for larger scaled residential developments and for all non-residential
developments, the Chief Building Official will require the submission of "final approved"
drawings as revised as well as "as built" drawings in a format that is compatible with the
Town's preferred software.
12.
THE SITE PLAN
The site plan shall be referenced to an up-to-date survey and when required to
demonstrate compliance with the Act, Building Code or other applicable law, a copy of
the survey shall be submitted to the Chief Building Official. This requirement may be
waived because the Chief Building Official is able, without having a current plan of
survey, to determine whether the proposed work conforms to the Act, the Building Code
and other applicable law.
The Site plan shall show,
a) lot size and the dimensions of the property lines and setbacks to any existing or
proposed buildings;
b) the direction of drainage flow;
c) existing right-of-way, easements and municipal services;
d) dimensions of setbacks of proposed buildings from buildings located on adjacent lots;
and
e) proposed fire access routes and existing fire hydrant locations.
For larger scaled residential developments and for all non-residential developments, the
Chief Building Official will require the submission of "final approved" drawings as
revised as well as "as built" drawings in a format that is compatible with the Town's
preferred software.
13.
PAYMENT OF FEES
Fees payable for a required permit shall be in accordance with the Fee By-Law, as
amended, that is in effect at the time and that are due and payable upon submission of an
application for a permit when received by the Chief Building Official. Applications shall
not be considered complete until associated fees are paid in full.
No permit shall be issued until the fees have been paid in full.
Where the fees payable in respect of an application for a construction or demolition
permit issued under Subsection 8(1) and 8(3) of the Act are based on the valuation of the
proposed work, the valuation shall include the total cost of all work regulated by the
permit including the cost of all material, labour, equipment, overhead and professional
and related services.

law, shall not include provisions for site work not specifically relating to the building(s)
( e.g., landscaping, walkways, driveways, curbing, and the like).
For residential development that is typically undertaken and/or managed by the owner of
the proposed development, or in cases where reasonable costing is difficult to determine,

the purposes of establishing the permit fee or for the purposes of establishing the
valuation for statistical purposes. Where disputed by the applicant, the applicant shall
pay the required fee under protest and within six ( 6) months of completion of the project
shall submit an audited statement of the actual costs, and where the audited costs are
determined to be less than the valuation, the Chief Building Official shall issue a refund
and correct the application.
15.
DOUBLING OF PERMIT FEES
The Chief Building Official has the discretion to double the value of building permit fees
for any class of permits if construction has commenced prior to the issuance of permit in
order to recover the Town's additional costs for such matters. Generally, this provision
will be used in cases where individuals have been known to commence construction
without a building permit in the past and not for first time offenders.
16.
REFUNDS
In the case of withdrawal of an application or the abandonment of all or a portion of the
work or the non-commencement of any project for which the permit fee is greater than
one hundred dollars ($100.00), the Chief Building Official shall determine the percentage
of fee eligible for a refund, if any, in accordance with Schedule "C" attached to and
forming part of this by-law.
17.

be completed in compliance with the Act and Building Code prior to any adjustments
occurring to a building permit fee.
18.

under such conditions as may be prescribed in the Building Code.
21.
TRANSFER OF PERMIT
(a) If the registered owner of the land to which the permit applies changes, the permit is
transferable only upon the new owner completing a permit application, as per the

for compliance with the permit documents.

A person issued a construction or demolition permit under the Act for any work in the
Town of Iroquois Falls shall submit fencing details ( extent of fencing, height, description
of fencing materials, location of openings and gates, etc.) and erect and maintain a
temporary fence to enclose the construction or demolition site, including any areas where
equipment is operated or equipment or material is stored. The Chief Building Official
may grant an exemption from the requirement to erect and maintain a fence if satisfied
that conditions at a site would not present a particular hazard to the public after having
regard for the following parameters:
a) The proximity of the site to occupied dwellings;
b) The proximity of the site to places frequented by the public, including streets, parks,
businesses and workplaces;

f) The hazard presented by the activity occurring and materials used on the site;
g) The expected duration of the hazard; and
h) Any other safety considerations.
Where work on a construction or demolition site is substantially suspended or abandoned,
the Chief Building Official may revoke an exemption granted under this Subsection by
serving written notice of the revocation on the permit holder.
25.
MINE HAZARDS
In cases where a building permit application has been submitted involving a property
where mining operations may have affected the structural stability of the ground, a
comprehensive report must be completed and stamped by a professional engineer (to be
secured by the applicant) competent in the mining/geotechnical/rock mechanics field will
be required as part of satisfying a complete application.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate whether or not the rock mass conditions are
appropriate and stable to accommodate the intended development over the long term.
Applicants will be directed to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines
(MNDM) for review and approval of such reports. MNDM's approval must be submitted
to the Chief Building Official as part of a complete building permit application.
In addition, prior to a building permit being issued and the commencement of
construction, the Chief Building Official will require a stamped letter by the said
professional engineer retained by the applicant certifying that the any remedial work has
been completed, inspected and is in compliance with the said engineering report.
26.
DRAINAGE & LOT GRADING
A final inspection may not be conducted until such time as the applicant has
demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Town that their property meets the approved lot
drainage and grading plan that has been completed in conjunction with the registered
subdivision.
In cases where an approved and registered lot drainage and grading plan does not exist for
a lot (e.g., infill lots), the applicant will be required to complete a lot drainage and
grading plan to the satisfaction of the Town before the building permit is issued. A final
inspection may not be conducted until such time as the applicant has demonstrated, to the
satisfaction of the Chief Building Official or Inspector, that their property meets the
approved lot drainage and grading plan that has been approved by the Town.
27.
ANNUAL REPORTS & PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Chief Building Official shall complete monthly reports concerning building permit
activity associated with the administration of the Act and Building Code. Reports shall
include a summary of performance measures to ensure that services are being delivered in
accordance with the requirements of the Act and Building Code.
The Administration department shall include in its monthly departmental report the
revenues and costs associated with building permit activity.
28.
ISSUING ORDERS
The Chief Building Official and Inspectors shall apply "people skills" in dealing with
situations that may require an order to be issued.
As such, each situation must be
approached with a degree of caution, calm, fairness, firmness and reasonableness.
Generally, orders should be issued in more serious cases.
Wherever possible, the
issuance of orders relating to more minor infractions should be avoided. Generally, the
following progressive approach will be adopted by the Chief Building Official and
Inspectors in dealing with situations that may result in the issuance of an order:
a) Verbal Persuasion - depending upon the severity of the matter, persuasion in person
or by telephone should be used before an order is made and served. In cases were
verbal persuasion is used, staff shall document this communication.
b) Correspondence - a letter forwarded to the offender, encouraging and requesting
compliance and demanding a written reply and compliance before a given date. An
inspection report should also be provided to the offender documenting the nature of
the offence.
c) Issuance of
the Order - used as a last resort for minor offences and may be the first
line of action for more serious infractions.
Despite the above, there may be circumstances where even minor infractions are dealt
with immediately by the issuance of an order, such as, in cases where an individual or
company has a history of repeated infractions. In cases involving unsafe conditions or
emergency situations, the immediate issuance of an order would also be considered
appropriate action.
29.
RESCINDING ORDERS
The Chief Building Official has the authority to rescind any order made by the Chief
Building Official or by any Inspector. Orders may be rescinded at the discretion of the
Chief Building Official and will be provided in writing. The following will be considered
by the Chief Building Official before rescinding an order:
a) In cases where the Chief Building Official is of the opinion that the intent and spirit of
the policy for issuance of an order outlined Section 27 of this by-law was not met; and
b) In cases where an order was made in error or based on incomplete information and/or
knowledge of the situation.
30.
LEGAL ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS
In enforcing the Act, the Chief Building Official and Inspectors shall generally follow the
spirit and intent of the principles and progressive procedure for the issuing of orders
established in Section 27 of this by-law. These steps include:
a) Verbal Persuasion - depending upon the severity of the matter, persuasion in person
or by telephone should be used before formal legal proceedings are considered. In
cases were verbal persuasion is used, staff shall document this communication.
b) Correspondence a letter forwarded to the offender, encouraging and requesting
compliance and demanding a written reply and compliance before a given date.
c) Commencement of
Legal Proceedings - Will include either the issuance of tickets
under the Provincial Offences Act for more minor infractions or through the
Provincial Court System for more significant offences.
Despite the above, there may be circumstances where even minor infractions are dealt
with immediately through the commencement of legal proceedings, such as, in cases
where an individual or company has a history of repeated infractions.
31.
USE OF REGISTERED CODE AGENCIES
The Chief Building Official is authorized to enter into and sign contracts for service
agreements with Registered Code Agencies and appoint them to perform specified
functions from time to time in order to maintain the time periods for permits prescribed in
Division C, Section 1.3.1.3 of the Building Code.
The Registered Code Agency may be appointed to perform one or more of the specified
functions described in Section 15 .15 of the Act.
32.
SEVERABILITY

law as a whole or any part thereof, other than the part so declared to be invalid.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
The purpose of this policy is to recognize an appropriate balance between employees who are
involved with supplementary employment and the corresponding potential for conflict of interest,
including perceived conflict of interest. In doing so, the intent of this policy is to make a clearer
distinction between perceived and direct conflict of interest. The intent is to proactively avoid
the potential for a direct conflict of interest situation and to minimize the potential for a
perceived conflict of interest by making a.
Outside Design and Outside Inspection Services: For the purposes of this policy, design and
inspection services are those building related services that are provided by Building Department
staff on their own personal time and are not affiliated with Town working hours or services.
Direct Conflict of Interest: For the purposes of this policy, a direct conflict of interest involves
any of the following scenarios:
- Where an employee provides Corporate plans review and/or inspection services involving
a property where the same employee has provided outside design and/or inspection
services and/or related services;
- Where an employee offers and/or provides outside design and/or inspection and/or other
related services during normal Town working hours;
- Where an employee receives payment for outside design and/or inspection and/or other
related services from a contractor, engineering, architectural, or other firm; and
- Where an employee, in providing outside design and/or inspection and/or other related
services, utilizes corporate vehicles, equipment, computers, software, supplies or other
services (telephone, fax, and email).
This policy applies to all union and non-union employees of the Building Department who
provide services under the authority of the Ontario Building Code Act, as amended.
Employees shall not be prohibited from engaging in supplementary employment, including self-
employment, unless it interferes with their ability to carry out their employment with the Town;
involves the use of the Town's premises, equipment, or supplies; or places the employee in a
direct conflict of interest with the Town.
It is the responsibility of employees to immediately declare any and all potential conflict of
interest situations to their Supervisor/Manager prior to taking on any outside work described in
this policy.
Employees are expected to carryout their municipal duties in a consistent and professional
manner. In doing so, staff shall not give preferential treatment, of any sort, in the review of plans
or the completion of inspections that involved outside design, inspection or other related work
that has been completed and/or declared by Department employees on their own time.
The Supervisor/Manager will be responsible for conducting periodic reviews of designs and
inspection reports completed by Division staff to ensure that municipal duties have been carried-
out in a consistent and professional manner and that no preferential treatment, of any sort, is
given to any outside design, inspections, or other related work completed by staff for their client
on their own time.
It is the responsibility of the Supervisor/Manager to proactively avoid any potential conflict of
interest situations by ensuring that a transparent process is established and by ensuring that their
respective employees are familiar with the provisions of this policy. Supervisor/Manager shall
disclose any potential conflict of interest to their respective Department Head.
Should it be determined that an employee has purposely contravened this policy, the
Supervisor/Manager and Department Head will take appropriate correction action to discipline
the offending employee, which may include the termination of that employee.
Building Department employees shall not engage in any business or transaction of a financial or
personal nature that would compromise the fair and honest discharge of their official duties with
the Corporation of the Town oflroquois Falls.
Where it is believed that a potential direct, or perceived, conflict of interest may exist, the
employee shall fully disclose any potential conflict of interest to the Department Head of the
Town. In doing so, the employee shall:
-
Prior to agreeing to provide any outside design and/or inspection services and/or other
related outside services, immediately disclose the potential direct or perceived conflict of
interest to the Department Head.
-
In cases where a potential direct conflict of interested is determined by the Department
Head, the employee, with the assistance of the Department Head, shall remove
himself/herself from the direct conflict of interest situation.
-
In removing himself/herself from the potential direct conflict of interest situation, the
affected employee shall not engage in any Building Department plans review and/or
inspection services that affect the subject property in which outside design and/or
inspection services and/or other related services have been provided.
