Report Overview
Paae 2
The purpose of this report is to show two things; Clarington building permit activity for the
final quarter of 2016, being the months of October, November and December, as well as the
total permit numbers for the year in comparison to the same totals for 2015. Total permit
numbers capture everything from new residential, commercial, industrial, renovations,
demolitions and more. In 2016 we issued a total of 1,181 permits across all categories.
We then look at how many permits were issued specifically for new residential units, since
that number has growth implications among other things. In 2016 we issued, 995 new
residential permits compared to a total of 931 for 2015.

7. Conclusion
The fourth quarter of 2016 saw an increase of 48.5% in the value of construction with one
additional permit being issued over the same time period in 2015. The total construction
value for the year 2016 was 5.7% lower than in 2015 with 12 fewer permits being
issued. In the residential sector, construction value increased by 10% and the number of
permits issued increased by 18 permits and the number of units constructed increased by
64 units.
In 2016, 1,434 building permit applications were received which was a record year for the
Municipality. This was due in part to an Ontario Building Code amendment which came
into effect January 1, 2017 and is applicable to all building permit applications received
after January 1, 2017. A number of builders submitted a large number of applications at
the end of 2016 so that they could continue to build out their subdivisions under the
previous code. We received 248 residential applications in the final quarter of 2016, some
of which are multi -unit buildings that have to be finalized, reviewed and issued. We need
to be cognizant of the fact that because some applications were for multi -unit buildings we

months of 2017.
