The City of Hamilton Building Division's permit requirements sheet for residential carports and covered porches, one of a family of scope-specific sheets the division publishes alongside those for decks and accessory structures. It lists pre-approvals such as committee of adjustment, encroachment agreement, the Ontario Heritage Act and conservation authorities, the application package with Schedule 1 and fees under Building By-law No. 15-058, then the drawing content it names: pier location, size and spacing, roof framing members, the house-to-carport attachment, ledger board size and pier depth below grade.

What it covers

  • Pre Approvals/Documentation (if applicable)
  • Application (one copy)
  • Construction Drawings (two copies)
  • Site Plan (Property Survey)
  • Foundation Plan View
  • Cross Section/Elevations
  • Additional Documentation (two copies) (if applicable)
Check this against the municipality before you rely on it. DocHub collects what a municipality published; it cannot tell you what is in force today. A newer version may exist, may be titled differently, or may not be posted publicly at all.
