Toronto launches building permit application pre-check to speed up reviews
Exciting news for Toronto homeowners and those considering a residential project: the city has launched an AI-powered pre-check tool for small residential building permit applications. This new pilot program, running for one year, provides instant feedback on missing details and highlights zoning or code issues upfront—making the process more efficient and helping to reduce those frustrating resubmissions. As someone who works closely with buyers and sellers of homes and condos across Ontario, I see firsthand how streamlining permits can save time and simplify your journey, whether you’re upgrading or building new.
