FAQs About Louvered Roof Pergolas
Does constructing a pergola with a louver roof require a building permit?
To find out if your project will require a permit, it’s best to visit the Building Permit Department of your local City Hall or research the process on their website WELL IN ADVANCE of your anticipated project start date.
If you require a permit, you may need to do a property survey, collect and submit architectural plans, provide a tree inventory or more, plus pay the necessary fees. Once submitted, your permit application could take four to six weeks to be reviewed and approved.
If you decide to skip getting a required permit, you risk:
- A fine that’s often double the original permit fee
- Stoppage of all work while your new permit application is processed
- The possibility of having to disassemble and remove all work that was done prior to obtaining the new permit as part of the penalty for non-compliance.
If you didn’t construct the deck, porch, balcony or pergola you want to add a louver roof to, don’t assume the previous structure has a permit – or even if it did – that it’s up to date with current municipal zoning, bylaw and building code requirements.
Lastly, even if a permit isn’t required for your louvered pergola roof, ensure you or your contractor comply with all municipal zoning, bylaws and building codes.
