Permit Processing Timelines - Service Installations and Driveway Entrances:
Similar to Building Permits, applications for Service Install Permits (SIP1) and Driveway Entrance Permits (DEP1) follow a structured review process to ensure compliance with municipal standards.
Current Service Standards
Initial review of all permit submissions will be completed within 10 business days. Where revisions or missing information is found, the application will be returned with guidance. Once the applicant has addressed the changes, via the secure portal link provided in your email, the 10-business-day review will begin again.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to carefully review the General Installation Specifications, which are referenced in the first paragraph and included with each application form. These documents outline key requirements and highlight common issues that may result in a returned application.
