Permits Request
Anyone wishing to undertake an activity that requires the issuance of a permit or certificate under the municipal regulations must obtain such permit or certificate from the designated official before commencing the said activity.
If you are unsure whether your activity requires a permit or certificate, it is always best to contact the municipal planning department. 450-264-5353 or email us at info@hinchinbrooke.com to schedule an appointment.
In order to avoid potential delays in the implimentation of your project, it is recommended to subit a permit request or certificate request a minimum of 30 days before your planned works.
Please remember that when you violate the current standards, whether a permit is required or not, you are subject to a fine.
