Information
Since 2013, the Town of Saint-Quentin has used the services of the North-West Regional Service Commission (CSRNO) regarding all matters affecting urban planning in the municipality. The CSRNO’s mandate is to enforce our zoning, subdivision and construction by-laws, as well as the municipal development plan. These documents are available here.
All these orders are adopted under the Urban Planning Act. Also, the CSRNO, through the Planning Review Committee (PRC), has the power to authorize certain exemptions regarding the use of lots, the planned use of buildings, the location of streets, etc.
For any questions relating to your new projects, please contact the CSRNO directly at 506 735 2126.
Those who wish to meet the building inspector must make an appointment 24 hours in advance.
If you wish to apply for a permit, please go to Town Hall with all the details of your project and municipal staff will help you with the process. It is also possible to initiate your request directly with the CSRNO.
Building permit
Whether it is to redo a roof, repair a porch, add a shed, a fence or other renovation carried out on your property, it is very important to check whether a building permit is necessary.
Planning permission
No one may change the use assigned to a piece of land, a building or a construction without first obtaining a development permit. With regard to professional activities carried out at home or the addition of a swimming pool, a sign, the moving of a shed or
other changes to your property, you must also obtain planning permission.
In addition, this applies to winter shelters (tempo shelters).
IMPORTANT
All work undertaken before obtaining a permit will be subject to additional fees, i.e. double the pre-established fees under article 12(1)(C) of construction By-Law NO 13-2015. In order to avoid additional expenses, it is therefore preferable that any permit application be submitted one month before the planned date of the work.
