Building permits
Richmond Hill’s Building Division issues permits for finished basements, basement walkouts, decks and sunrooms, and any plumbing or HVAC alteration. A deck needs one if it is attached to the house, more than 600 mm (2 ft) above grade, or larger than 10 m² (108 sq ft). A shed of 10 m² or less with no plumbing does not.

Richmond Hill’s Tree Preservation By-law needs a permit to cut any tree 15 cm or more in diameter at breast height — a lower line than most of York Region, so check before a yard cleanup takes anything larger than a sapling.

The Gormley Heritage Conservation District, set up in 2009, is Richmond Hill’s first. Work that affects a heritage property’s heritage features needs a heritage permit before it starts.

Richmond Hill collects leaves and yard waste in large kraft paper bags or open rigid containers up to 125 L — no plastic bags, no soil, sod or grass clippings. It is every other week in spring and summer and weekly from mid-October to mid-December; each item has an 18 kg limit.

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.
