The housing here

In the 2021 census, 33.5% of Burlington’s homes (24,485) were built between 1961 and 1980 — the largest share of any period — and only 3.9% between 2016 and 2021.

Basement flooding subsidy

Halton Region pays 50% of an indoor backwater valve, up to $1,600, 100% of weeping-tile disconnection with a new sump pump, up to $6,500, and 100% of downspout disconnection, up to $900, after a permit and passed final inspection. The City of Burlington’s Plumbing Permit Fee Grant covers the building permit for a backwater valve or sump pump, and its Home Flood Protection Program pays half the cost of a home flood assessment.

Building permits

Burlington doesn’t need a building permit for a fence, a shed under 15 m² with no plumbing, like-for-like furnace or air-conditioner replacement, or swapping plumbing fixtures of the same type in the same place. Most other work — including a basement finish — goes through a building permit application, and the City asks for a Pre-Building Approval (zoning, grading and tree check) first.

  • Government photo ID and a matching selfie
  • A clear police record check

No provincial licence

No. Flooring and tile installation need no provincial licence. You pass Doyo’s ID and police record checks and quote each job after checking the subfloor.

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.
