Overview

Markham Building Standards' three-page ePLAN quick reference for demolition permit applications, dated January 2026 and listed with the City's ePLAN guides and tutorials. It explains when the City treats work as demolition rather than an alteration and the pre-demolition inspection, gives the ePLAN settings, and lists the thirteen project information questions, from building height and area to heritage and utility disconnection. It sets out the drawings, documents such as the Applicable Law Checklist and Environmental Building Audit, the Right-of-Way Demolition deposit under By-law 2012-137, and the construction fence specification.
