Renovation in Vaughan: what to know

About Vaughan

Basement flooding subsidy

Vaughan pays 50% of the invoice for a sanitary back-water valve, up to $750 including labour, materials, the permit fee and taxes. The valve needs a plumbing permit and a City inspection, has to be installed by a certified plumber, and funding is first come, first served.

Heritage districts

Vaughan has four heritage conservation districts: Kleinburg-Nashville, Maple, Thornhill and Woodbridge. Work that alters or changes the appearance of a property in one of them needs a heritage permit; routine maintenance usually does not.

Help centre

By written quote. A pro visits, looks at the space and sends a line-by-line quote in the app. You pay a deposit when you accept it, and Doyo holds that deposit until you confirm the work is done. Part of the pro’s payment is held back for a warranty period after completion, so there is still money on the table if something needs putting right.
