The Building Department is responsible for the enforcement of The Building Code Act
and The Building Code Regulations. The department consists of a Chief Building Official, a deputy, building inspectors and support staff. They review all plans, assist in the completion of a building permit application
and perform various on-site inspections. Building Permits are required for structures occupying an area greater than ten square metres consisting of a wall, roof and floor or any of them or a structural system serving the function thereof including all plumbing, works, fixtures and service systems.
The Bylaw Department is responsible for the enforcement of the Town of Newmarket's bylaws. It consists of seven staff: three officers who address all bylaws except parking and four staff who enforce the Parking Bylaw. Some of the most common problems the department deals with are fences, property standards, signs, sidewalk snow removal, noise infractions and parking problems (such as impeding a sidewalk, parking in a handicapped space and parking in fire routes).
