Heritage districts
Toronto has heritage conservation districts across the city. Inside one, new construction, alterations and additions need a heritage permit, which is separate from — and does not replace — a building permit.

No provincial licence
No. Painting needs no provincial licence in Ontario. You pass Doyo’s ID and police record checks, then quote each job yourself after the site visit.
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.
