COVID-19 Update – March 8, 2021
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, City Hall remains closed to the public until further notice. Building Department staff are dedicated to providing services to the community by working both on-site and remotely.
Building and Demolition Permits
Building and Demolition Permits ensure that construction projects within the municipality are in compliance with standards set out in the Ontario Building Code and Municipal By-Laws. The enforcement of these codes and applicable laws are carried out to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
To ensure that proper safety standards are followed, the City's Chief Building Official completes plans review and building inspections for any new construction within the City of Elliot Lake.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Building Department at 705-848-2287 ext. 2119 or via E-mail.
