If you plan on building in the Municipality of Killarney – Turtle Mountain, you are required to obtain a building permit prior to construction. Building permits give you formal permission to build your project and ensure your plans comply with the Building Code, local zoning by-laws, and any other regulations that apply. Building inspections are an important part of the permit process. They help identify construction mistakes and make sure minimum safety standards are met.
