What we check

Before we draw in Wentworth-Nord

  • Shores and lakes

    Near a lake or a stream, the shoreline buffer limits where a building, a garage or a deck can go.

  • Wetlands and wooded areas

    A wetland or a wooded area on the lot can change where you can build. An environmental study or a biologist can be added when needed.

  • Access and roads

    The condition and width of the road matter for site access and the garage, especially in winter.

Questions about permits in Wentworth-Nord

Who issues the permit in Wentworth-Nord?

The urban planning department of Wentworth-Nord. 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 Wentworth-Nord 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.
