If you would like to apply for a development or building permit for your sea can, you can download the application package and submit it to development@strathmore.ca
More details:
- Sea Cans used for storage purposes are required to obtain a development permit and building permit.
- If the sea can is kept on a property temporarily, for less than 10 days, it is exempt from needing a development or building permit.
- Some of the new regulations now require sea cans used for storage to be vented, set back from other buildings and parking areas, and control the types of materials that can be stored.
