Report Overview
This report provides an update on the building permit activity for January 1 to May 31, 2018.
1. Introduction
1.1 The building permit activity report presents market activity statistics that are intended
to provide a clear picture of development activity within Clarington during the period
analyzed. The period of analysis for this current report is January 1 to May 31, 2018
and will be analyzed against the same period one year ago. We will then compare the
current statistics against a five-year average to give an indication of the status of the
current market.
2. Concepts & Definitions
2.1 "Complete Building Permit Application" — is a building permit application that meets the
requirements of the Ontario Building Code which include, plans, specifications,
documentation and fees, which are in compliance with all applicable law.
2.2 "Permit" — is formal permission to begin the construction, demolition, addition, or
renovation. As part of the building permit process, Municipality of Clarington staff must
review the plans and documents submitted to ensure they comply with the Ontario
Building Code, local Zoning By-laws, and all other Applicable Law.
2.3 "Residential" — refers to construction and permit activity resulting from the creation of
all new residential dwelling units as well as accessory structures (detached garages,
sheds, etc.), and additions (decks, new additions to a home, etc.).
2.4 "Non-residential" — refers to construction and permit activity that is related to non-
residential development such as site servicing, industrial, commercial, and agricultural.
2.5 "Total Construction Value" — refers to the total dollar value of construction activity
within a defined period because it is a measure of economic activity as a whole.
2.6 "Total Construction Value Residential" — provides a specific measure of the dollar
value of construction within the residential sector and is important because it indicates
such things as population growth and more.
2.7 "Total Construction Value Non-residential" — provides a specific measure of the dollar
value of construction within the non-residential sector and is an indicator of business
development within Clarington.
