Agreement for Early Design Review
I, the undersigned, recognize that my application is incomplete and that I am willing to
wait for a response while the Building Department does a preliminary review of the
plans and specifications in an effort to help me organize my construction project. I do
not expect, nor will I be requesting, the Township to issue a permit within the time
specified in Div. C Section 1.3 of the Ontario Building Code.
I also understand that complete applications will take precedence over my incomplete
application, and that I may have to wait longer than usual for a response from the
Building Department.
Further, the information provided is only preliminary and may change or require
additional information based on this early design review. Therefore, I will not expect
a faster turn- around time on my permit application when I do finally submit a complete
and proper application.
