True, there is a bit of no-permit builds still happening. Gotta get it right though as I have been called out “to come up with a fix” for a few structures that are questioned in the inspection process (ie: mortgage) for when property changes hand. This whole thing is definitely “not perfect” when working with issues from “this side of the fan”. I even get calls for when a house sale has an inner city prefab garden shed too close to a right-of-way. A $1200 shed then needs a $1000 relaxation on the land title for a mortgage to go thru on a resale. … so back on topic … only on the 3rd day of the 60 day development approval process … tick tock … I can’t wait to park in this garageOn the farm I would call it an 'accessory farm building to park my tractors in'... no permits or approvals necessary. Acreages on the other hand also have to follow rules that we can avoid.
… processes do vary across the country too as my build in New Brunswick during covid was like a dream for when building in the 90’s here … even though I had to do it sight-unseen with travel lock-downs and with it taking forever with numerous delays.
