Standardizing Ontario’s Permitting Process for E-Permitting Implementation
As municipalities across Ontario grow and densify, they ought to deal with an increase in both the number and complexity of building permits. These municipalities are starting to take advantage of recent permitting technologies by migrating towards electronic permitting (e-permitting) systems. E-permitting systems have been shown to increase the efficiency of the permitting process, allowing for faster processing of permits, providing added transparency to the approval process, and streamlining document reviews and revisions. More advanced e-permitting systems are able to take advantage of latest technological advancements including building information models (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS) to enable intelligent city planning and city management capacities. The fragmented nature of the 440 municipalities in Ontario and the lack of a standards process, along with inefficient internal and external data exchanges, are major obstacles in progressing towards e-permitting systems. In this research, the challenges regarding process and data exchange standardization will be examined and will be complimented with a case study which will review the permitting process of an Ontarian municipality. This research can further be utilized as a valuable resource for other municipalities who wish to adopt an e-permitting platform.
