Permits and certificates

Renovations - Constructions - Balcony, Patio and Terrace

A permit is required to build a patio, a raised terrace or a balcony, or any other similar structure.

However, no permit is required for the construction of a uni-stone ground level patio. No minimum distance is required between such a patio and the property line.

Installation

  • Contact the Direction de l'aménagement urbain et des services aux entreprises to determine the applicable clearance for the civic address in question.
  • If built in a front yard, the balcony, patio or raised terrace can encroach as much as three metres into the front setback, as long as the structure is part and parcel of the building; otherwise, no encroachment is permitted.
  • In the case of a detached building, a patio, a raised terrace or a balcony may be built in a side or back yard if built within the inner line of the lot.
  • In the case of a semi-detached or town house, no minimum distance is required with respect to the lateral lines running along one or more party walls.
  • If your building is located on a streetcorner, you must go to the Direction de l'aménagement urbain et des services aux entreprises with the building's survey certificate to ensure that project complies with the by-law.

Materials permit

A patio, a raised terrace or a balcony may be built in wood, in steel or in concrete and must comply with the Québec Building Code. The surface must consist of permanent materials (PVC, steel, masonry, etc.) authorized under the zoning by-law.
