Building and Construction Permits

For building in Grand Valley, the County of Dufferin Building Department gives final approval on all applications to construct or demolish. The County Building Department will accept applications to construct or demolish ONLY after you have acquired local Municipal Approval from the Town of Grand Valley.

Contact the Town of Grand Valley Municipal Office at 519-928-5652 to ensure that your application for Municipal Approval conforms with all requirements, per the checklist below.

A submission for local Municipal Approval generally requires the following:

  • Complete application form which includes:
    • Site Sketch (showing septic location, well, buildings, setbacks, pool designs and layouts, etc)
    • Schedule 1 Designer form
  • Payment of applicable Fee (from the Tariff of Fees by-law)
  • GRCA Permit for lands that are regulated by the Grand River Conservation Authority
  • County Building Package
  • Payment of applicable Development charge in accordance with the Development Charge By-law

Once the Municipal Approvals are obtained and all applicable fees are paid to the Town, hand deliver the Municipal Approval Package along with any additional information/documentation required to the County Building Department. Fees apply. Detailed septic information is not required at the municipal level but is required to accompany the Building Permit submission to the County.
