Overview
Richmond Hill's Form R3 checklist for a residential finished basement permit application, linked from the city's residential permits page. It sets out permit fees and a general information section on interior foundation-wall insulation, the drainage layer, and when an HRV unit applies (a sixth bedroom or a solid-fuel fireplace). Its submission requirements cover floor plans, the washroom layout with plumbing fixtures and floor drains, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, structural information, and Schedule 1 designer information, with Building Division contacts.
