Hi folks,

I know there's been a few prior threads on this already. Just wanted to get a current view on what the general timelines for obtaining a building permit in TONH are these days. We're doing a major gut that involves electrical rewiring, plumbing (bathrooms/kitchen), and structural (knocking down walls, convert attic to vaulted ceilings). Feedback from anyone with recent (2016) permit application experiences would be greatly appreciated! I'm anticipating 8-10 weeks but not sure if that's overly optimistic?

Thanks in advance.

I have heard closer to 12 weeks for a major reno and about 8 for a simple one. I should add this was the case for one of my former neighbor who is gutting his entire home and adding a second floor.
