Permits and local notes
Almonte and Pakenham are both part of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, so building permits for addresses in the municipality go through the Mississippi Mills Building Department. Which office applies depends on where the property sits, not the mailing address, so check with the municipality if you're near a boundary, or send us the address and we'll help you find the right office.
Whether a porch, deck or basement needs a permit depends on the work and the municipality's current rules. We can look after the permit as an optional extra, quoted separately, or you can handle it yourself. Our work in Ontario is done to the Ontario Building Code (O.Reg. 332/12).
