Garage permits in Canada refer to the official approvals needed from local municipalities or building authorities before constructing a garage on a property. These permits ensure that the garage adheres to zoning regulations, building codes, and safety standards. Specific requirements may include setback distances from property lines, maximum allowable size, and construction materials. Obtaining the necessary permits is essential to avoid legal issues and potential fines.

Additionally, it ensures that the garage is built safely and in compliance with the local building regulations, contributing to the overall safety and aesthetics of the neighborhood.
