What is a complete submission?

New regulations came into effect January 1, 2006, allowing applicants to declare submissions as COMPLETE, thereby requiring us to process the application within prescribed time periods.

It is important that applicants understand what constitutes a COMPLETE submission.

An application (in general) can be declared as complete, by the applicant where:

  • The applicant has completed the Applicable Law Declaration form (PDF 50 KB) and provided proof of compliance with any identified applicable law.

  • The building or demolition permit application has been submitted through Pronto and a record number has been assigned.

  • The application must be accompanied by complete plans, specifications, and documents to establish compliance with the Ontario Building Code regulations and the City of Greater Sudbury Zoning bylaw.

Complete details can be found in the latest version of our Building By-law (2 MB).  It is important to note that compliance with the Ontario Building Code requirements is determined by technical examination review and NOT a condition of whether an application is COMPLETE.

Questions about a COMPLETE submission can be answered by contacting the Building Services Department at 705-674-4455, extension 4278.
