Permits

Permits in Woodstock, sorted.

From the city's own website, read 9 October 2026.

Woodstock runs a one-permit system: the same building permit covers interior and exterior renovations. The City's 2026 when a permit is required guide says residential alterations need one for:

  • Any structural change, including altering interior partitions and adding windows or doors.
  • Plumbing installation and renovations, except replacing fixtures.
  • Installing or replacing furnaces and ductwork.
  • Insulating exterior walls when the cladding comes off.

Applications are online only, through Cloudpermit; the City doesn't accept them by email. For residential construction, review may take up to 10 business days. Interior renovations, including plumbing and HVAC work, are charged $8 per $1,000 of construction value, with an $80 minimum. Not sure whether you need one? The Building Department is on 519-539-2382 ext. 3103 or 3106. 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.

This is general information, not legal advice. The building department has the final word on your project, so check before any work starts. We handle permit applications on projects that need them.
