Civic House Numbering Over the past number of years, the Town and local emergency services departments have noticed that there are a number of residents that do not have a civic number visible on their property. It is very important for emergency purposes to have the correct civic number displayed on your property. The Town has developed a new policy requiring a visible civic number to be placed on all properties within the Town and encourages all property owners to display a civic number.

The Town has designed a template for civic number signs, which can be purchased through a local signage company. If you wish to confirm your civic number, please contact the Town office.

Your street name 50

Home Based BusinessAs the Town continues to grow, the largest portion of businesses in the Town are becoming home based business. The Town’s Municipal Plan allows for a variety of home based businesses within residential zones such as small-scale hair and nail salons, low ratio childcare providers and home offices for a number of different classifications. Please note, it is the property owner’s responsibility to contact the Town’s Planning Department to ensure compliance.

Permits Required As we move out of the building season and into the winter months, many of you are maybe considering future renovations. When doing so, please keep in mind that the Town of Torbay is actively enforcing its regulations and bylaws. A Building Permit is required when completing any outside work to your property and for various other items. If you are unsure whether a permit is required, please contact the Town’s Planning Department.

In 2018, with the high influx of alterative heating sources and ventilation systems being installed, Council agreed that ventilation equipment, propane appliances/fireplaces, heat pumps, mini splits, oil fire burners, and chimneys shall be installed by a licenced/certified contractor. The Town now requires that a permit be obtained for such installs and that written confirmation from the licenced/certified installer indicating that the work has been completed in accordance with required codes be provided to the Town prior to the release of an Occupancy Permit or associated deposits.

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

Private Well Water TestingA large portion of properties within the Town of Torbay are on private well water sources. The Town encourages residents using private wells to have their water tested at minimum, twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. There are water-sampling bottles available at the Town office during regular business hours. It is also recommend by the Department of Environment and Conservation that chemical testing be completed every two to five years after initial analysis.

Electrical Permit RequirementsOver the past number of years, the Town has been requesting final electrical inspections on all electrical work that is completed in the Town; this is required as per the Provincial Electrical Regulations. As per the regulations, only a registered electrical contractor can complete electrical work; it is the electrical contractor’s responsibility to obtain an Installation and Repair Permit from Service NL prior to starting any work. As with all Town and Provincial regulations, the Town and Province is actively enforcing the requirements.

Property StandardsIn 2015, Council adopted Property Standards and Maintenance Regulations to ensure that properties throughout the Town are maintained to a certain standard. It is the responsibility of all property owners to ensure that their property is maintained in a state of good condition and repair.
