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 wish to obtain any permit, please call 450-264-5353 or email us at info@hinchinbrooke.com to schedule an appointment. If you are unsure whether your activity requires a permit or certificate, it is always best to contact the municipal planning department.
To avoid delaying your projects, it is recommended to submit your permit or certificate application at least 30 days in advance, as the designated official for issuing them is present at the Municipality from Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Please remember that when you violate the current standards, whether a permit is required or not, you are subject to a fine.
