Port Credit HCD was designated in 1986 to preserve the historic character of the village core. All exterior alterations, including masonry repairs, require heritage permits to ensure work maintains the historical character and uses appropriate materials and techniques.
Heritage permits typically take 4-8 weeks for approval. Simple repairs may be faster, while complex restoration can take longer. We handle the entire process including pre-application meetings, submission, and follow-up with heritage staff.
Modern materials may be acceptable if they are compatible with heritage character and don't compromise historical integrity. Each application is reviewed individually. We work with heritage staff to identify appropriate modern alternatives when traditional materials are unavailable.
Unpermitted work in the HCD can result in stop-work orders, fines, and requirements to restore original conditions. All work must be corrected to meet heritage standards. We ensure proper permits are obtained before any work begins.
We handle the complete heritage permit process as part of our service. This includes pre-application consultation, drawing preparation, application submission, heritage staff coordination, and permit follow-up. You don't need to manage any of the permit process.
Yes, Ontario offers heritage property tax relief programs for qualifying restoration work. We can provide documentation to support tax credit applications and work with heritage consultants when required for major restoration projects.
