RCA appointments, agreements, fees and code of conduct
How registered code agencies are appointed, what the plans review, plumbing and sewage agreements do, how permit fees are capped and changed, and what a code of conduct must contain.
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.
