The Asbestos Project Permit Application Service allows you to apply for an asbestos project permit application or demolition notification.

NOTE! The submission of a project permit application or demolition notification does not automatically authorize you to conduct renovation or demolition activities. You must have a project permit or stamped demolition notification on site.
