Did you know that Building Permits expire? If you do not book any building inspections within six months of your building permit being issued, your building permit will expire. One month before the expiry date, the City of Brampton will send you a notice instructing you on how to proceed.
The options are as follows:
If construction has started, you need to begin booking inspections. You received a building permit card when your permit was issued. The second page of the building permit card indicates the mandatory inspections required for your permit (sample).

If construction has not started, you may request a permit extension on the Brampton Building and Business Portal. Log in as a registered user. Under My Issued Permits, select the permit you want to request a permit extension for and then click the Request Extension button.
The permit will show the Request Extension button only under the following situations:
- Status of the permit must be issued
- Expiry date must be in the future and is within the next 30 days
- Not an as-built - building permit (i.e. application was submitted after construction work has already been completed)
- An extension was never requested before
If approved, an extension fee of $267.23 will be applicable and the permit will be valid for a maximum of six months after the original date of expiry.

If your permit expires and you have not had any building inspections completed, the City may revoke your permit. The permit will no longer be valid. To proceed with construction on the project in the future, you will need to apply for an entirely new permit application.
If you no longer require your building permit, you can request to cancel (revoke) your building permit. In some cases, depending on how far construction has progressed, we may deny your request for revocation. There is no fee to revoke a permit. Submit this
application form as a ticket through our Building Inquiries online form through the portal.
