Building Permit Application with Cloudpermit

The City of Brockville now uses a cloud based e-permitting software called Cloudpermit to process all Building Permit Applications. This system digitizes the building permit process and will eventually help us go completely paperless. The software streamlines the application process and makes it easier for the applicant to track the status of their permit, request an inspection, and more.

Visit our Building and Construction page and our Building and Planning Information section for tips and details for popular projects that will help you prepare your application.

With Cloudpermit, you can:

Send us a message through Cloudpermit (there’s a button in the upper right corner) and we can see where you are having trouble with your application and help get you back on track.


Required Documents, Drawings, Supplemental Forms, and Checklists to accompany your building permit application

When completing your building permit application, the amount of information and detail necessary on your supporting drawings depends on the class of permit you are applying for. For example, a site plan is required for both a new building and a pool permit, but the site plan for the pool permit does not need as much information as what is required for a new detached house.

In the sections below you will find information on what information is required on your drawings depending on the class of building permit you are applying for. Expand each section below to see the types of projects that fall under each permit class, and what documentation is required.
