How permits work in Saint John

Building permits in Saint John are handled by the City of Saint John, and projects follow the National Building Code of Canada as adopted in New Brunswick together with local zoning. Requirements differ by building type, use and scope of work, and they change over time, so we check the current requirements for every project instead of relying on a template.

That is why we start each Saint John project by confirming what your permit needs: which drawings, whether stamping is required, and how long to plan for.
