Back to SearchMuskoka Lakes – Following the May 14, 2020 amendment to the Province of Ontario’s essential services list, the Township of Muskoka Lakes has resumed the issuance of building permits for construction sites within the Township.
Building permit applications will continue to be accepted via email or at the Municipal Office drop box. These applications will be processed and reviewed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code and applicable law. However, as the Municipal Office remains closed to the public, curbside pickup of issued building permits from March 17th to the present date, will be available. Please call 705-765-3156 Ext. 244 to arrange a pickup time.
Upon request, building inspections will occur for all construction, provided the Township can confirm that our building inspectors can safely enter and leave a site. This requirement will be confirmed at the time of booking the inspection and when the inspector arrives on site. For a list of site safety criteria, please visit www.muskokalakes.ca/covid19.
Additionally, questions regarding how to interpret the List Essential Workplaces can be directed to the Stop the Spread Business Information Line at 1-888-444-3659.
The Township of Muskoka Lakes is working closely with the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit and other community partners to monitor the global situation regarding COVID-19, in order to protect our employees and community.
