County of Lambton launches online building permit and by-law portal

Wyoming, ON – The County’s Building Services Department is now accepting building permit applications and by-law reports through Cloudpermit, an online, cloud-based software.

With Cloudpermit, residents can apply for a building permit and submit by-law reports easily and securely online. Cloudpermit allows applicants to monitor the progress of their application or report and allows Building Inspectors and By-law Officers immediate access to information and updates while conducting on-site visits.

“The launch of Cloudpermit allows our staff and our residents to have access to the most up-to-date information, in any place, at any time,” said Corrine Nauta, Chief Building Official for the County of Lambton. “With this program, our staff can update and review reports and applications while they are on site, saving time for staff, ensuring the most up to date information is used, and reducing wait times for responses to applicants.”

In addition to submitting and monitoring a permit application and submitting a by-law report, applicants can check the status of the permit, book an inspection, communicate with the Building Services Department, request changes to an existing permit application, and receive results all within the online system. This streamlined process will help increase processing efficiencies, modernize service, and provide more real-time information to both applicants and Building Services Department staff.

Online building, plumbing, and septic permit applications, as well as by-law reporting, are available through the County for residents of Brooke-Alvinston, Dawn-Euphemia, Oil Springs, Petrolia, Enniskillen, Plympton-Wyoming, Point Edward, St. Clair Township, and Warwick. Applying through the online portal is encouraged, however paper applications and inspection requests by phone will still be accepted.

Residents of Lambton Shores and Sarnia can only apply for plumbing and septic permits and submit septic by-law reports online through the County, and they should connect with their local Building Department before applying to ensure proper processes are followed. Lambton Shores and Sarnia residents must contact their local building departments directly for building permit and other by-law reporting services.
