Planning a project or installing a fire pit? Make sure you're permitted.
The Town of Choiceland requires permits for certain types of construction, renovations, and fire pit use. These permits help ensure safety, compliance with bylaws, and consideration for your neighbours.

A building permit is required to erect, place, construct, alter, repair, renovate, or reconstruct a building within the Town of Choiceland.

This includes projects such as:

Additions
Decks
Basement renovations
Garages
New construction
Structural changes
General renovations

All permit applications and plan documents are available at the Town Office.

Fire pit permits

Permits are required for all permanent and portable fire pits in Choiceland.

Here’s how it works:

Pick up a permit application from the Town Office
Permits are a one-time application, unless the pit is moved or modified
Once submitted, the Fire Chief will inspect your fire pit
You must receive approval before using the fire pit

All pits—including portable ones—must be inspected prior to use.
Failure to follow these regulations may result in charges for unpermitted burning.
