Urban Planning and Permits for Residents

Do I require a permit or certificate before commencing work?

Generally, all work done on the exterior of your home requires a permit issued by the Town of Mount Royal.

Work performed inside requires a building permit when it is structure-related. You may also need a plumbing permit when adding or relocating fixtures that connect to the water network.

Before initiating your project, make sure to comply with the current municipal by-laws and obtain the necessary authorizations. Please refer to the Municipal By-laws page for further information.

It is forbidden to engage in construction work, of any nature whatsoever, that has the effect of emitting noise outdoors:

  • Before 7:00 and after 20:00, from Monday to Friday
  • Before 9:00 and after 17:00, on Saturdays
  • On Sundays and statutory holidays

For details on relevant fees, kindly reach out to the Urban Planning and Development Division: urbanplanning@town.mount-royal.qc.ca -  514-734-3042

Construction Permit Request

Changes from February 1, 2025

Plumbing

As of February 1, 2025, the Town of Mount Royal will renounce its agreement to oversee the application of the Plumbing Construction Code. Its territory will therefore fall under the authority of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ).

In concrete terms, this means that plumbing contractors and builder-owners will no longer need to obtain a permit from the Town of Mount Royal. However, they will be required to declare to the RBQ all eligible plumbing work carried out on Town of Mount Royal territory. Fees associated with the work must also be paid to the RBQ.

Visit the Déclaration de travaux page of the Québec government to :

  • obtain a form
  • find out how to fill out and submit the form
  • find out when to send it and how to pay.

We remind you that it is mandatory to file a declaration of work. Interest will be charged if the plumbing contractor fails to comply with this requirement. Declarations are subject to verification.
