You Build It. We Permit It.
GTA Permits is your back-office permit department. We handle drawings, applications, city correspondence, and revisions across 35+ municipalities so you can focus on selling jobs and running sites.
A Permit Partner Built for the Way You Work
GTA Permits works with both homeowners and general contractors — and we have structured our process around the needs of GCs who move fast and manage multiple files.
You already know the process. When you call us, we get straight to the work — scope, timeline, submission strategy. No lengthy explanations, no hand-holding on basics. Just clean drawings, fast turnaround, and a team that understands what it takes to keep crews moving.
Our drawings are designed to be realistic to build off of. Cost-effective to execute. Because we understand how things actually get built — not just how they get approved.
What We Handle So You Do Not Have To
Complete Permit Drawing Packages
Architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical. A full set, not a partial package that leaves you chasing engineering stamps on your own.
See our drawing services →Municipal Submissions Across 35+ Municipalities
Every municipality has a different portal, different formatting requirements, and different examiner expectations. Toronto’s Intake Portal is not Mississauga’s ePlans is not Vaughan’s Online Permitting Portal. We submit to all of them regularly.
City Correspondence and Revisions
When the examiner comes back with comments — and they will come back with comments on roughly 80% of applications — we respond quickly. We are not afraid to challenge city comments when they are unreasonable.
Committee of Adjustment Applications
When your client’s project needs a variance, we prepare the drawings, the planning justification, and handle the hearing.
Committee of adjustment services →Zoning Research and Due Diligence
Before your client signs a contract, we can confirm what is buildable on their property. Setbacks, lot coverage, height limits, secondary suite eligibility, conservation authority requirements — all confirmed before you quote, not after you break ground.
Consulting services →Engineering Coordination
Structural, mechanical, and plumbing engineering coordinated through our network of licensed engineers. Stamped, integrated into the permit package, and formatted for the municipality. You do not have to manage the engineers.

We Hound the City
Once your drawings are submitted, we do not sit and wait. We follow up with the municipality, push for examination timelines, and respond to comments the same week they come in. Your permits get issued faster because we do not let files sit idle between revision rounds.
Drawings That Are Realistic to Build Off Of
We understand actual construction. What we draw is not overly designed or over-engineered. It is practical, cost effective, and translates from paper to jobsite without the contractor having to figure out what the designer was thinking.
One Point of Contact for Everything
You do not call one firm for architectural, another for structural, another for mechanical, and then try to coordinate the submission yourself. We are the single point of contact for the entire permit package. One call, one invoice, one team.
We Know Every Municipality You Work In
You build in Toronto on Monday and Brampton on Tuesday. The forms are different, the portals are different, the examiners are different. We submit to 35+ municipalities and know the specific requirements of each one.
Your Clients Never Have to Call Us
We work behind you, not around you. Your clients see your company coordinating the permit process. We present our work through your business relationship, not ours. You have the answers because we keep you informed.
