Fences, decks & renovations in Brampton.
Brampton is right next door, and its newer subdivisions keep us busy with decks, fences, interlock and basement finishing. Brampton's rules are stricter than Mississauga's in two places worth knowing before you plan: any deck attached to the house needs a permit, and so does finishing a basement.

Local rules
Brampton permits, in plain English.
Summarised from the official pages below, checked October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm them for your address before work starts.
- Decks
- A permit is required for any deck or porch attached or anchored to the house, or 0.6 m (2 ft) or more above the ground. A deck under 0.6 m that isn't attached doesn't need one.
- Sheds
- Storage sheds of 15 m² (about 160 sq ft) or more need a permit, and so do other accessory buildings such as gazebos, cabanas and pool change rooms of 10 m² or more.
- Basements
- The city requires a permit to finish a basement. Its Basement Finish package lists the drawings and forms, including a declaration that the space won't be used as a separate unit. A second unit has its own requirements.
- Fences
- Fence heights are set by by-law, so check with the city before building. Pool enclosures have their own rules.
- Renovator licences
- Brampton licenses building renovators. Requirements include $2 million in commercial general liability insurance and proof of WSIB coverage.
