PLEASE NOTE: We are transitioning to all online applications with our Cloudpermit Software, please visit these links below: Learn how to log in to Cloudpermit as a registered user, or check Cloudpermit Support for a quick tutorial on the basics.
These instructional videos may also help you navigate the system:
If you apply via Cloudpermit, you will receive email updates of the progress of your application and you can download your permit all digitally, saving you time! Online payment option will be coming soon. For any inquiries related to permits, fees or the application process, please contact our department directly at (519) 736-5408. We are here to help! Appointments are not necessary but recommended. This year we are fully transitioning to our Cloudpermit Software and will be limiting in person or email applications. It is possible to discuss your project and confirm that it meets our Zoning By-law, Building Code and application requirements by email or phone call. It is recommended that you meet with a Registered Designer that has a BCIN (Building Code Identification Number) or for more extensive projects an Architect or Engineer.
Our general email is building@amherstburg.ca or "in person" to our office at 3295 Meloche Road (Libro Arena).
If you have applied already you may call our office to confirm application status at 519-736-5408 (Please note we have many applications in for review, your patience is appreciated)
