BASEMENT DEVELOPMENTS AND INTERIOR RENOVATIONS 
 
As the building owner, you are responsible for complying with all building requirements. A permit is required for basement development or any interior renovation for a home if the work proposed includes developing a previously unfinished basement into bedrooms, bathroom, rec room, etc., and structural or material alterations or repairs.

For basement developments: Please check off either 'Full' or 'Partial' on the permit application form. A basement development is considered 'full' when there is no more development intended in the basement (i.e. - no more rooms to be built in the future). A 'partial' basement development is when only a portion of the basement is being developed, such as only doing a mechanical room, or just a bathroom, etc.
