Coverage
Provincial baseline

Provincial baseline: a detached one-storey storage shed up to 15 square metres, with no plumbing, does not need a building permit in Ontario. Zoning setbacks, lot coverage, conservation authority rules, and any stricter Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan rule still apply.
Deck
Provincial baseline: decks can need permits when attached, elevated, structurally complex, or serving an entrance. We have not verified Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan's local deck page yet, so check the municipal building department before building.
Fence
Provincial baseline: ordinary fences are usually handled by local fence bylaws, not by a province-wide building permit rule. Pool enclosures, corner lots, heights, and sightlines can trigger separate Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan rules.
