What's Different About Markham
Who Reviews Your Permit
Markham building permits are administered by the City of Markham's Building Standards division under the Ontario Building Code and Markham's Zoning By-law. Heritage-designated properties may involve additional review through Markham's heritage committee.
Markham's heritage designations in Unionville and Markham Village are the detail most homeowners miss. Alterations to a designated property — even interior ones that touch structure — can require heritage committee review before the building permit is considered. That adds a step to the process, so heritage status is the first thing worth checking on any older Markham property.
Local Building Conditions
Markham combines newer subdivisions in Cornell and Berczy with established areas like Unionville and Markham Village that carry heritage designations. Heritage properties introduce a layer of review that affects what alterations are permissible, particularly on facades and visible elevations.
What We See Most in Markham
- Heritage-designated properties in Unionville and Markham Village require additional heritage review
- Strong custom-home and addition market across newer subdivisions
- Basement and secondary suite conversions are consistently in demand
