Frequently Asked Questions
Our Frequently Asked Questions page provides you with valuable information on various planning topics.
Services
Building Permits
A building permit is required before erecting, placing a new building or construction, as well as relocating, removing, demolishing, altering, repairing or replacing an existing building or structure. The building inspectors will ensure that the plans and the work conform to the development standards and to the National Building Code.
Subdivision
The Development Officer is responsible for enforcing the various acts and regulations that stipulate how land can be subdivided as well as its size, its intended use and its access. Some subdivision projects are more complex such as those which involve the creation of new streets.
Variance
The planning and zoning by-laws specify the uses permitted in each zone and prescribe standards for buildings and structures such as setback, size and height. However, particular conditions of certain properties may make it difficult to comply with a prescribed standard.
Rezoning
You may apply for rezoning by contacting the land use planner who will explain the process to follow. These procedures may vary according to a municipality or an unincorporated area. All rezoning requests involve a public consultation process announced by notices in newspapers.
Fees
Services rendered in respect to the provisions of the Community Planning Act are subject to the following fees. These fees are subsequently returned to the municipalities and LSDs.

Information
Radon
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odourless and tasteless. When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces, like homes, it can accumulate to high levels and become a risk to the health of you and your family.
Pool
Here is a reminder of basic rules regarding the installation of pools in the Chaleur RSC territory.
