Do I need health unit approval for an addition onto my dwelling/business?

There is a possibility that the proposed addition or change of use to your dwelling or business, if this structure is serviced by a private sewage system, may require review and approval from the Health Unit.

The Health Unit works closely with the local building inspectors in the municipalities we serve. Your building inspector may require that you obtain approval from the Health Unit prior to the issuance of a building permit for your structure. This approval from the Health Unit is currently initiated by completing and submitting a building alteration/change of use application to the Health Unit; there is a fee for the service.
