The City of Markham's quick-reference guide for submitting a temporary event structure permit application — tents, demountable stages and demountable support structures — through the ePLAN portal. It sets out the size and height thresholds at which each structure type falls within the scope of a building permit, the ePLAN settings to select for a new application, and the drawings and documents to upload, including the applicable law checklist, temporary event structure authorization, and commitment to general review where one applies. It also covers scheduling the pre-event inspection.

What it covers

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.
