The City of Brampton is implementing a transition policy that officials say will help the building and development community adapt to the new 2024 Ontario Building Code.
The policy allows building permit applications to continue under the 2012 Ontario Building Code until March 31, 2025, minimizing red tape and simplifying processes for applicants.
This flexible approach helps prevent unnecessary delays and confusion, allowing projects to move forward smoothly. By offering this extended transition period, the city aims to foster economic growth, enhance the development experience in Brampton and support both safety and compliance.
Builders are encouraged to submit applications early to take advantage of this opportunity under the 2012 Code and avoid potential complications. This policy reflects the city’s commitment to creating a supportive, business-friendly environment and enhancing customer service.
