What happens to permits issued under the repealed Building Code Act?

Permits issued under the repealed Building Code Act are continued under the new act, meaning that those permits remain valid and enforceable even after the transition to the new legislation. This continuity is crucial as it ensures that ongoing construction projects can proceed without being disrupted or requiring new permits, providing legal reassurance to both builders and property owners.

This approach reflects the intent of the legislature to maintain stability in the regulation of construction practices and ensure that prior approvals do not become obsolete simply due to a legislative change. As a result, builders can continue their work with the permits they already possess, thereby promoting efficiency and reducing the potential for confusion in the industry.
