Shed Permit
PermitsHub handles shed permit applications in Toronto and the GTA, from zoning review to approval.

Scope of service.
Building a shed in Toronto or the GTA requires a building permit in most cases. Whether you're adding garden storage, a workshop, or a pool equipment enclosure, the City of Toronto and surrounding municipalities require permits for sheds over a certain size or height. The permit process ensures your structure meets setback requirements, lot coverage limits, and building code standards for foundations and construction. PermitsHub prepares the required drawings, completes zoning analysis to confirm your shed complies with local bylaws, and submits your application to the municipality. We handle communications with the building department and respond to any review comments, so you receive a permit ready for construction without navigating the process yourself.
