Applications

The first step in applying for your Site Alteration Permit is to complete an application online by clicking this link: Site Alteration Permit Application

If your work only requires a Sherkston Site Alteration Permit, once approved, a permit certificate will be delivered to your site, or available for pick up from the Welcome Centre. Work must not start until this certificate is received.

If your work also requires a city permit, you will be provided with a City of Port Colborne Permit Application as well as a Sherkston approval letter. These documents are required to apply for your city permit.
