Welcome to The Town of Amherstburg
The Town of Amherstburg is a growing historical community. It is one of the oldest most picturesque towns in Southwestern Ontario, nestled on the shores of Lake Erie and the Detroit River. The Town of Amherstburg is committed to delivering cost-effective and efficient services for the residents with a view to improve and enhance their quality of life.
The Building Department is responsible for the enforcement of the Ontario Building Code, By-Laws and the Municipal Act.
What construction projects need building permits? The following is a partial list of projects that require building permits.
• New residence • Additions or renovations to an existing building • Finished Basements • Secondary Suites • Detached garage and carports • Pole Barns • Sunrooms and porches • Sheds, Pool houses • Covered deck • All swimming pools • Demolition of a building • Alterations of building structures • Alterations to the plumbing system in a building • New septic system or alterations to a septic system • Retaining walls greater than 3’-4” in height • Solar Panels
What construction projects do not require a building permit?
• Building less than 107 SF (without plumbing) • Property fence (must comply with the fence by-law) • Retaining walls less 3’-4” in height • Sidewalks and Landscaping • Replacing roof shingles • Minor repairs to masonry • Damp proofing basements • Hot tubs • Other approvals may be required for electrical, gas, ERCA, etc.

Why are building permits needed? Permits are required to ensure that construction meets the minimum standards set out in the Ontario Building Code. They are also required to ensure that other applicable laws such as zoning by-laws, site plan control etc. are complied with. Who should apply for a permit? It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure that a building permit is obtained. You may authorize your contractor to apply for the permit, however as the owner, ensure that a permit is in place prior to commencement of work. Owner should also verify that all work, inspections and all permits are complete prior to finalizing any contract or final payments. What does the Building Department provide? The building department reviews all applications for building permits to ensure compliance with all applicable zoning by-laws, applicable laws and building code requirements. In addition, we perform inspections as mandated by the Building Code Act based on the project that is being constructed. The Building Department staff are available to answer any questions you may have. For additional information, call 519-736-5408. What is required for a building permit? Documents for permit applications will vary by the type of construction project. Every project will require an application to construct or demolish. This can be found on our web site at www.amherstburg.ca. Under the Building Department section. The following is a list of required documents for new residential applications:
• Application to Construct or Demolish • Designer form • Energy efficiency form • Right of Way Permit. (To be obtained from Public Works) • Lot grading plan for all infill lots • Two set of scaled construction drawings • Other approvals (as required) ERCA, Septic System Design (may require soil
reports)
Please note that incomplete applications or plans will not be accepted.

What drawings will I need to submit? Along with your completed application form, you will be required to submit two full sets of construction drawings completed by a certified designer. All drawings shall be a minimum legible scale as indicated or scale that is legible. The following drawings are required.
• Site plan (1/16” = 1’-0”) • Foundation plan (3/16” = 1’-0”) • Floor plans (3/16” = 1’-0”) • Elevations (3/16” = 1’-0”) • Sections and details (1/2” = 1’-0”) • Lot grading plan (completed by a certified Engineering Technician, Ontario land
Surveyor or Professional Engineer • Engineering drawings (where required)
Along with the drawings listed above, other approvals may be required for your particular project. The following are some approvals that may be required upon submitting your application prior to issuance of a building permit.
• ERCA (Essex Regional Conservation Authority) • Septic Sewage System Approval • Ministry of Transportation • Committee of Adjustment • Minor Variance • Site plan agreement • County road approval • County road construction / Entrance Permit

What is the cost of a building permit? The attached chart indicates the typical building fees for a new single family dwelling. Some fees may vary. For our complete fee schedule go to our web site at www.amherstburg.ca. Permit Calculation Work Sheet
Some things to consider when choosing a contractor
• Check for contractor’s experience in the type of construction proposed • Interview the contractor and check on previous projects the contractor has completed • If building a new home, verify that the building contractor is registered with the Tarion
warranty program • Before signing the contract, check the drawings to ensure they comply with what you
want and check specifications and materials proposed. • Confirm whether the contractor is obtaining the building permit or if you are expected to
obtain the building permit. When the contractor is applying for the permit, make sure you see the permit card before allowing work to start.
• Please note that the building department has no jurisdiction to rectify any
contract disputes

Additions to Properties on the Designated Heritage List
The Town of Amherstburg is unique in that the Town has many buildings on the Heritage Designated List. Certain approvals will be required if the building is designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario heritage Act. Any additions would have to be approved by the Heritage Committee and council. Contact the Clerks Department to ensure and confirm that your property is not on the Designated Heritage List prior to doing any work. How long does it take to get my permit and when can I start? Residential building permits are usually issued within 10 business days of a complete application being submitted. All other approvals are required (eg: ERCA, Essex County Roads, ETC), for an application to be considered complete. Applications that are incomplete because of missing or incorrect information will be delayed. No work can commence until the permit has been issued and all fees have been paid. What inspections are required and how are they scheduled? Requesting inspections is the responsibility of the homeowner or the contractor of the project. Inspections must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. Each phase of construction must be inspected to make certain the work conforms to the Ontario Building Code. Listed below are the mandatory inspections that are required.

Guide to the Energy Efficiency Design Summary Form The Energy Efficiency Design Summary form summarizes the compliance path used by a house designer to comply with energy efficiency requirements of the Ontario Building Code. This form is completed by the person responsible for the energy efficiency design of the project, and must be submitted with the building permit application. The information on this form MUST reflect the drawings and specifications being submitted, or the building permit will be refused. Refer to Supplementary Standard SB-12 for details about building code compliance requirements. Further information about energy efficiency requirements for new buildings is available from the provincial building code website at www.mah.gov.on.ca, or the municipal building department.
Beginning January 1, 2012, a house designer must use one of four energy efficiency compliance options in the building code:
1. Comply with the SB-12 Prescriptive design tables, 2. Use the SB-12 Performance compliance method, and model the design against the prescriptive standards, 3. Design to Energy Star standards, or 4. Evaluate the design according to EnerGuide technical procedures and achieve a rating of 80 or more.
COMPLETING THE FORM
B. Compliance Options
Indicate the compliance option being used.
SB-12 Prescriptive requires that the building conforms to a package of thermal insulation, window and mechanical system efficiency requirements set out in Subsection 2.1.1. of SB-12. Energy efficiency design modeling and testing of the building is not required under this option.
SB-12 Performance refers to the alternative method of compliance set out in Subsection 2.1.2. of SB-12. Using this approach the designer must use recognized energy simulation software (HOT2000 V9.34c1.2 or newer), and submit documents which show that the annual energy use of the building is equal to a prescriptive package.
Energy Star houses must be designed to Energy Star requirements and be labelled on completion by Enerquality or other agency. The Energy Star BOP form must be submitted with the permit documents.
EnerGuide80 houses are validated by NRCan authorized energy advisors and must achieve a rating of 80 or more when evaluated in accordance with EnerGuide administrative and technical procedures.
C. Project Design Conditions Climatic Zone: The number of degree days for Ontario cities is contained in Supplementary Standard SB-1 Windows, Skylights and Glass Doors: If the ratio of the total gross area of windows, sidelights, skylights and glass doors to the total gross area of walls is more than 17%, higher efficiency glazing is required. If the ratio is more than 22% the SB-12 Prescriptive option may not be used. The total area is the sum of all the structural rough openings. Some exceptions apply. Refer to 2.1.1.1. of SB-12 for further details. Fuel Source and Heating Equipment Efficiency: The fuel source and efficiency of the proposed heating equipment must be specified in order to determine which SB-12 Prescriptive compliance package table applies. Other Building Conditions: These construction conditions affect SB-12 Prescriptive compliance requirements. D. Building Specifications Thermal Insulation: Indicate the RSI or R-value being proposed where they apply to the house design. Under the SB-12 Prescriptive option, RSI 3.52 wall insulation is permitted in certain conditions where other design elements meet higher standards. Refer to SB-12 for further details. E. Performance Design Summary This section is not required to be completed if the SB-12 Prescriptive option is being used. AIRTIGHTNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW HOUSES All houses must comply with increased air barrier requirements in the building code. Notice of air barrier completion must be provided and an inspection conducted prior to it being covered. A blower door test to verify the air tightness of the house must be conducted during construction if the NRCan EnerGuide80 option is used, or if the SB-12 Performance or Energy Star options are used and an air tightness of less than 2.5 ACH @ 50 Pa in the case of detached houses, or 3.0 ACH @ 50 Pa in the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR NEW HOUSES Energy Star and EnerGuide issue labels for new homes constructed under their energy efficiency programs. The building code does not regulate new home labelling.
