May is Building Safety Month
The Building Services department ensures the buildings we work, live and play in are safe. Staff also publish monthly building reports that include information about building permit types issued, home construction starts, and major project permits issued across Barrie.
Please visit us in person at City Hall, Monday–Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm. Staff will be happy to answer your questions and assist you with your building permit needs.
The Residential Infill Construction: The Good Neighbour Guide provides simple guidelines to help your project proceed with minimal disruptions and includes tips for communicating with neighbours.
