​​How do I know if I need to review a permit application?

When you first submit a permit application to the City of Brampton, it will go through a pre-review for accuracy. Building Division staff will assess if all the correct documentation is attached. Once it is accepted, the permit will move to the My Permit Applications section on the portal. You will then be able to make your permit fee deposit. Our Plans Examiners will then review your permit.

If the Plans Examiners require more information from you, you will receive an email indicating that there are deficiencies with your permit application. This means you need to take action using the following steps:

  1. Log into the Brampton Building and Business Portal: https://bramptonbbp.brampton.ca/citizenportal/app/login
  2. Scroll to the My Permit Applications section.
  3. Click the Detail button next to the permit.

Please note: All the above steps occur at the My Permit Applications stage only. If you are working on a permit application that is under pre-review under My Submissions on the portal. Please see My Submissions and How to Reply to a Reworked Application FAQs.
