Who should be contacted for inquiries regarding the Building Code?

The most appropriate contact for inquiries regarding the Building Code is your local municipality. Local municipalities are tasked with the enforcement of the Ontario Building Code and are responsible for building permits, inspections, and ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations. They have the expertise and knowledge of local amendments or additional requirements that may apply to construction within their jurisdiction.

ServiceOntario Publications typically handle administrative tasks related to the publication and distribution of government documents, not direct inquiries about the Building Code specifics. Meanwhile, the Architectural Association of Ontario, while involved in architectural practice and standards, does not serve as a primary source for Building Code inquiries. The National Research Council of Canada focuses more on national standards and research overall, rather than specific provincial building regulations.

Therefore, for accurate and timely information related to the Building Code, reaching out to your local municipality would be the most effective approach.
