Looked at the regulations online, built it and then got it inspected. - Take some photos of the area where you want to place it and take some measurements of any combustibles (house, shed, fence, etc.), then visit the local fire hall to discuss. The city website lists the regulations/restrictions for reference. For example, if you don't have the permit they require, the FD usually accommodates you. Just my opinion (and experience), it's better to discuss with them and get pre-approval before doing any work. (4)

Post summary:I've been here since the 1990s and I've never seen so many new buildings going up at once. I think it's a good sign that Thunder Bay is growing for once? Some of the funding for these projects is a bit... questionable. But anyway, we need more housing here.
