Local rules
What Ontario rules mean for your project.
Summarised from official sources. Rules vary by city and change over time, so we confirm them for your address.
Electrical work is reported to ESA
In Ontario, almost all electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor who files a notification with the Electrical Safety Authority. New lighting and circuits in your kitchen go through that process.
Hiring a licensed electrical contractor (ESA)Moving walls or plumbing can need a permit
Cosmetic kitchen updates usually don't need a building permit. Removing a wall, or adding or moving plumbing, often does. We'll tell you which applies before you commit.
