Repentigny Urbanisme-Permis – Repentigny, QC

Urban Planning and Development

The Repentigny Urbanisme-Permis department, located within the municipal administrative complex on Iberville Boulevard, is the central authority for land use management and construction regulation in the City of Repentigny. This office plays a vital role in ensuring that all development projects-whether residential renovations, commercial construction, or landscaping-adhere to the city’s zoning by-laws and the National Building Code. The department’s mission is to foster harmonious urban development that respects the character of Repentigny’s neighborhoods while promoting safety and sustainability.

Permits and Authorizations

Citizens and contractors must visit this office to obtain necessary building permits and certificates of authorization before commencing work. Common requests processed here include permits for swimming pools, sheds, fences, home expansions, and new construction. The staff provides guidance on the required documentation, such as site plans and architectural drawings, ensuring that applications are complete before review.

Zoning and Inspections

Beyond issuing permits, the department is responsible for zoning administration. Urban planning officials are available to interpret by-laws regarding land use, density, and setbacks. The office also coordinates municipal inspections to verify that ongoing work complies with approved plans. For projects that do not strictly meet zoning requirements, the department manages applications for minor derogations, which are then submitted to the Town Planning Advisory Committee (CCU) for consideration.

Modernized Services

In an effort to streamline operations, the City of Repentigny has introduced online services for certain types of simple permits and work declarations. However, the physical office remains the primary resource for complex files requiring detailed technical analysis or face-to-face consultation with a municipal inspector. The counter serves as a resource for accessing public records related to property assessment and urban planning regulations.

• Renovation Permits: Authorization for structural changes, windows, and roofing.
• Pool & Spa Safety: Permits ensuring compliance with provincial safety regulations.
• Commercial Signage: Approval for business signs and exterior modifications.
