Prepare for Construction

The building permit must be printed and posted, at all times, in a conspicuous place on the property for the duration of the construction project. In addition, the drawings and specifications which formed the basis for permit issuance, and which have been stamped by the City of Belleville Building Section, are to be printed and kept on site at all times. Failure to provide the stamped plans during on-site inspections may result in the Building Inspector being unable to complete the inspection, which may lead to the inspection being rescheduled and result in a possible delay.

With any projects that require you to dig, such as building a fence, building a deck or even putting in a pool, be sure to contact Ontario One Call.

If your project involves electrical work, including swimming pools and hot tubs, be sure to contact the Electrical Safety Authority to see if you require a permit. Resources for Municipalities
