Building permits
Aurora needs no building permit to finish a basement with no structural work and no new bedrooms, for a deck no more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade with no roof, for a shed of 15 m² or less with no plumbing, or for a fence that does not enclose a pool. Furnace and boiler replacements in a house need none either; new plumbing may need a separate plumbing permit.

Aurora’s Private Tree Protection By-law lets a homeowner remove two trees over 20 cm in diameter in 12 months without a permit (more on large lots); trees of 20 cm or less are exempt. Any tree in the heritage district, and any heritage tree, needs a permit.

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.

Requirements
What you’ll need
Customers let Doyo pros into their homes. These checks are why they do.
- 18 or older, legally able to work in Canada
- 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
No provincial licence
No provincial licence is needed to build a deck or a fence, but many decks need a building permit from the town. Say in your quote which permits the job needs and who applies for them.
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.
