Residential Permits in Winnipeg
Whether you’ve just bought a home or are ready to renovate your current space, most renovation work in Winnipeg requires a building permit—and in some cases, a development permit.
We help with all types of residential permit applications, including:
Basement development permits
Egress window permits
Garage and carport permits
Deck permits
Secondary suite permits
Home renovation permits
Backyard suite permits
Development Permits and Variance Applications
Some projects in Winnipeg may also require a development permit, especially if your plans don’t fully comply with the zoning bylaw—for example, if your garage is too close to a property line or exceeds height restrictions.
In these cases, we can:
Determine if a variance is required
Prepare and submit the variance application
Work with City planning staff to increase your chance of approval
Advise you on whether the project carries a high risk of refusal
Permit Masters ensures your plans are compliant—or properly evaluated—before you move forward.
