Permits

New Brunswick’s building and environmental regulatory regime is much more flexible than the U.S., allowing companies to set up in record time. In Canada there is no overriding federal authority as there is currently in the United States and although our standards are similar, there is more flexibility in how the limits are set in New Brunswick. We can meet with and discuss issues and options with each company. Unless a plant has substantial air and water pollutants, the environmental process here can occur within a few months. Visit the Department of Environment for detailed information on regulatory and approval process.

To construct a building or structure in New Brunswick, municipal by-laws relating to buildings in the cities require, among other things, that the building or structure be built in conformity with the National Building Code of Canada (1990). Building permits are obtained much more expediently in New Brunswick, compared with the United States, directly from the municipality. Visit New Brunswick’s Provincial Buildings Regulation for areas outside municipalities.
