If you want to build a shed that is less than 10 square metres in size in the Town of Stouffville, you will need approval from certain agencies first. We also recommend first getting a zoning check by our Planning division [link to contact info].

Before you start building your shed, you need to call Ontario One Call to ensure you are digging safely. You will also need approval from:

• Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) or Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) if your shed is near or on flood prone land
• A condo board if your property is not free-hold
• A builder or developer if your subdivision is unassumed by the Town and the developer is responsible for its maintenance
• The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) if your property touches a provincial highway
• The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) for any electrical work
