Floor Plans of Your Home

Would you like to see or have a copy of your home's floor plans? Well, the City of Brampton should have a copy of your home's building plans on file.

Just head over to the Building Division of Planning, Design and Development, now located at Flower City Community Campus (a "block" south of Queen St), address: 8850 McLaughlin Rd., Unit 1.

Once inside the building, head downstairs to Document Services. Don't forget to bring picture ID (e.g., Ontario driver's licence). The clerk will verify your identity against their tax roll information for the property. For a recent transfer in title, you may have to bring a copy of your Purchase Agreement to show that you are the new homeowner.

The clerk will then retrieve the microfiche for you to view. If you live in a subdivision, there's a reference set of plans submitted by the builder for each model, and a separate file specific to your lot. Among the things you might find: HVAC heat loss calculations, mechanical drawings, floor plans, elevation drawings, cross-sectional drawings, etc. (The city may not have a copy of your survey though.)

There's no cost to view your plans. If you'd like copies made, it's $5 per page + GST (capped at $25), plus a $5 access to information fee (per Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.O. 1990c. M56.). As an example, the reference set alone for my home was 30 pages.
