Toronto accepts e-mails for building permits, expands residential Fastrack program

The City of Toronto Building Division is now accepting e-mail submissions for customers applying for a number of building, mechanical and plumbing permits by e-mail. The division has also expanded the list of projects eligible for the residential Fastrack program, an enhanced building permit service for certain types of projects in existing houses containing one or two dwelling units. 

The following projects are now eligible: additions with cumulative areas up to 100 m² on all floor levels, second suite to residential dwellings, conversion from up to three residential units to a single family dwelling, fire damage repairs, plumbing permits for residential dwellings, and HVAC for residential Fastrack permits after issuance of related building permits.
