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.

 


Starting a new Building Project

If you have any questions throughout the planning process of a new project, please contact the Building Department and staff will assist you. The Building Department can assist with inquiries about building and planning, including those about Zoning. You may need a Minor Variance to comply with Zoning By-Law regulations.

Learn if your project requires a Building Permit prior to beginning work and learn about the application process. The Building Department can help with all questions related to building permits and is located on the second floor of City Hall.

 


Applying for your Building Permit

Please fill out a Building Permit Application form.

 


Paying for your Building Permit, Demolition Permit or File Search

You can now pay for your Building Permit, Demolition Permit or File Search online.  Once you have paid, please contact the Building Department at 705-848-2287 ext. 2119 or via E-mail to make an appointment to pick-up your documents.

 


Official Plan and Zoning 

The City of Elliot Lake Official Plan guides development within the municipality by stating what lands can be used for which purpose. The Official Plan recognizes that the demographic and economic make-up of Elliot Lake is always changing. It protects the city's quality of life through responsible and proactive development. The Zoning By-Law refines and outlines permitted uses in various zones within the municipality. 

You can download and view the City's Official Plan, Zoning By-Law and related land use schedules below:
