Site Servicing

A guide to preparing your site servicing permit application (not applicable to individual houses).

Site servicing is a stand alone permit for the plumbing system that connects the water, sanitary and storm services from the street to the outside of the building.

Typically, this permit type is applied for in parallel with a new and/or addition to condominium developments and non-residential buildings. It does not apply to freehold houses.
