Agricultural zone
Part of the territory is in the protected agricultural zone: the permitted uses and buildings are more limited there.
Woodlands and wetlands
A wooded area or a wetland on the lot can change where you can build. A biologist can be added when needed.

Questions about permits in Oka
Who issues the permit in Oka?
The urban planning department of Oka. We prepare the plans the municipality requires, check its bylaws with you, you file the application, and we stay available afterwards for your questions and any adjustments.
Do you work in Oka even though your office is in Lachute?
Yes. We draw plans anywhere in Quebec: conversations happen remotely, and we agree with you on travel when the survey of the existing building calls for it.
