scout note
Caveat: enacted before New Brunswick's Building Code Administration Act regime; building by-laws that do not conform ceased to have effect on 2023-01-01, when the provincial General Regulation began to apply, so this by-law may no longer be fully in force. Bilingual building by-law under Community Planning Act s.59: adopts National Building Code of Canada, permit requirement, applications, inspections and a permit fee schedule.
