Building permits
Toronto Building needs a permit for a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground, for basement work that changes the structure, adds plumbing or creates a unit, for new or modified heating and plumbing, and for a backwater valve. Replacing a furnace or boiler in a house, or repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures, needs none. Etobicoke’s Toronto Building district office is at the Etobicoke Civic Centre, 399 The West Mall, by appointment.

Toronto’s Private Tree By-law needs a permit to injure or remove a tree 30 cm or more in diameter, measured 1.4 m above the ground; in ravine and natural feature areas any size needs one. Changes to the tree by-laws took effect on September 1, 2026, so check the City’s page before a tree comes down.

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.
