The GTA is not one building department. Ontario's Ministry of Finance defines it as the census divisions of Toronto, Durham, Halton, Peel and York, and every city in it issues its own permits. Here is what the biggest ones say about kitchens and bathrooms:

Toronto's 2026 fee schedule charges $11.53 per square metre for interior alterations in residential buildings, with a $214.79 minimum, so a typical kitchen pays the minimum. Our GTA kitchen cost guide works through it, condo rules included. Electrical work is separate everywhere in Ontario: the Electrical Safety Authority says almost all of it must be reported through a notification of work before it starts, by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
