Permit Palooza Pilots Expedited Building Permit Process

The City of Greater Sudbury is hosting a Permit Palooza on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the One-Stop Services Counter in Tom Davies Square.

Staff from various divisions will be available to support the expedited process.

Projects eligible for an expedited permit include:

• Weeping tile
• Single-level attached or detached decks less than six feet in height
• Siding
• Detached garages less than 55 metres squared, without additional dwelling units
• Above ground pools
• Sheds greater than 15 metres squared

Residents must sign up for a Pronto account before attending Permit Palooza, but should not submit their application beforehand.
