Know Your Terms
What is a Heritage Alteration Permit (HAP)?
A Heritage Alteration Permit is a municipal approval required before any changes — renovations, demolitions, or new construction — can be made to a designated heritage property or within a Heritage Conservation Area. Unlike a standard building permit, a HAP specifically evaluates whether proposed changes are compatible with the heritage character of the site.
Why it matters: Once a HAP is issued, the approved design is locked in. Public input — through written comments or council delegations — is most effective before a permit is approved.
