Change of use, notices, inspections and orders
Change-of-use permits, notices of readiness, occupancy, and the order ladder up to a stop work order.
Study notes, not an official interpretation. About these notes
Only the Minister’s binding interpretations (Act s.28.1) and the decisions of the chief building official on a real project are authoritative.
Quoted from the Building Code Act, 1992, S.O. 1992, c. 23, as consolidated on e-Laws (current from June 2, 2026). Provisions not yet in force are not shown. This copy is for study; the official version is on e-Laws.
Each provision is quoted word for word. Study summaries, background, examples, exam traps and recall answers are ours: shorthand for memory and made-up scenarios for study, not a substitute for the text. On a real project, the chief building official decides how the Act applies.
Confirm against the official text of the Act and the Code before relying on anything.
