Neighbourhoods and homes

We work across Aurora, from the older streets around Yonge and Wellington and the Northeast Old Aurora district to Aurora Heights, Aurora Highlands, Bayview Wellington and the newer subdivisions east of Bayview Avenue. The housing runs from century homes near the historic core to post-war bungalows and the family homes built from the 1980s on. Each era brings its own surprises behind the walls, which is why we look at the house before we price the work.

Permits

• Most renovations need a building permit from the Town of Aurora. That includes additions, alterations, structural changes to walls, roofs or foundations, and most plumbing work. Replacing windows or doors without enlarging the opening, re-roofing with similar materials and minor repairs generally do not. Source: Town of Aurora: Applications, Permits and Inspections
• Applications go through the town’s online portal (cvportal.aurora.ca), where you can also pay fees and book inspections. Current fees are in the town’s permit fee handout.
• Decks: a wooden deck with no roof that is no more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above the finished ground does not need a permit, but it still has to meet the zoning by-law. Source: Town of Aurora: Decks
• Basement apartments: Aurora’s zoning by-law allows a second suite in detached, semi-detached and link houses. Creating one needs a building permit (or change of use permit), and two-unit houses must be registered with the town. Source: Town of Aurora: Secondary Dwelling Units
• Heritage district: in the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District, exterior alterations, new construction and demolition need heritage approval as well as a building permit. Source: Town of Aurora: Heritage Conservation Districts
