Electrical permits

Aurora does not issue electrical permits. In Ontario the licensed electrical contractor files the work with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), which inspects it. Ask your electrician for the ESA notification number.

Heritage district

Aurora’s heritage conservation district is Northeast Old Aurora. Exterior alterations, new construction and demolition there need the Town’s approval first — and so does removing any tree in the district.

  • Government photo ID and a matching selfie
  • A clear police record check
  • A smartphone with the Doyo Pro app
  • Your own tools, and transport to jobs

Licensed trade

Yes. Electrical work for hire in Ontario must be done by an ECRA/ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor, so Doyo checks the licence before you are offered electrical work and keeps it current. Customers can look the number up on the Electrical Safety Authority’s site.

Some trades also ask for proof of liability insurance; the application tells you if yours does. Doyo reviews your documents — usually within a couple of business days.

Payouts

How payouts work

For jobs the customer pays by card through Doyo, your earnings reach your Doyo balance when the job is completed, and payouts are sent weekly by e-transfer. Tips are yours in full. On quote jobs, the deposit and balance are held until the customer confirms the work, and a warranty holdback is released after the warranty period.
