Who is responsible for the enforcement of the Building Code Act in territories without municipal organization?

The enforcement of the Building Code Act in territories without municipal organization is the responsibility of the provincial government of Ontario. This is due to the fact that, in areas lacking local governance structures, the province steps in to ensure that building regulations and standards are upheld. The provincial government has the authority to oversee building practices, ensuring compliance with safety and construction codes, as well as issuing permits and conducting inspections where necessary.

The other options, such as municipal councils in nearby regions or local community organizations, do not have jurisdiction in these unorganized territories since they lack the formalized governance required to enforce such regulatory frameworks. Registered code agencies operate with specific responsibilities under the Act but do not assume overall enforcement authority in areas without municipal administration. Thus, the provincial government is uniquely positioned to serve this role in unorganized territories.
