Deck permits
Burlington needs a permit for any deck attached to the house, and for a detached deck that is over 10 m² (108 ft²), over 60 cm (2 ft) above the ground, or covered by a roof. A small, low, uncovered free-standing deck doesn’t need one.

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.

Inside Burlington’s urban area, removing or injuring a private tree 20 cm (8 in) or more in diameter at 1.37 m needs a City permit; public trees of any size always do. Dead, terminally ill or high-risk trees confirmed by a qualified professional still need a permit, but the fees and replacement compensation are waived.

Halton Region collects Burlington’s yard waste from the first week of April to the second week of December on your garbage day, in paper yard waste bags or open, labelled rigid containers — never plastic bags. Each bag or container can hold up to 125 L and weigh no more than 50 lb, and brush must be tied in bundles no larger than 2 m by 1 m with branches under 7.5 cm across.

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.
