You might not have known that it was necessary and constructed your garage without a permit. So, how can you get a building permit if your garage is already built? Luckily, you aren’t alone, and garagepermits.ca can help you obtain your building permit after the fact with drawings that accurately reflect what you’ve constructed.
If It’s Already Built, Why Do I Need a Permit Now?
Unfortunately, building your garage without a permit doesn’t mean that you can slide under the radar forever. Your municipality will have specific guidelines for your garage, and they need to complete an inspection to ensure that it has been built safely and in accordance with the Alberta Building Code. The issue of missing permits frequently arises when a homeowner decides to sell their property and there is no documentation for the garage. This can be a deterrent for new buyers and building inspectors and can cause a delay or even halt the sales process entirely. At garagepermits.ca we’ve helped a number of panicked real estate agents and saved them from missing closing dates by providing them with the drawings they need to get approved quickly.
How Do I Get a Permit?
If you’re reading this because you’re feeling anxious about your missing building permit, take a deep breath. When you order with garagepermits.ca the process is simple and you’ll be able to apply for your permit in just a couple of days. We’ll draw your garage the way that you built it and add all of the building code elements that are required by the city. We’ll make notes on the drawings to let the city know that the garage is already existing so that they can plan the inspection process accordingly. Once everything looks right, you can submit those drawings to the city and they will issue the building permit (provided your garage was actually built to code). After your permit is released to you, you’ll need to call your Planning & Development office to schedule the inspection.
