  • Municipalities launch shared online Building Permit Portal

    New service makes it easier for builders and residents to apply for and track permits online

    The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg (MODL), the Town of Bridgewater, the Town of Lunenburg, and the Region of Queens Municipality have launched a shared online permit application portal, making it easier for residents, contractors, and developers to apply for and track permits across the region.

    Opened July 13, 2026, the new portal allows users to create a single account and submit building and development permit applications in any of the four participating municipalities. Applications can be completed anytime, from any device, with real-time updates available throughout the review process.

    “This is a smart regional partnership that improves service, reduces duplication, and helps us use municipal resources more efficiently. It's a win for residents, builders, and staff,” says Mayor Elspeth McLean-Wile.

    The new portal streamlines how permit applications are submitted and managed while maintaining existing inspection services and standards. The Region of Queens Municipality will continue to conduct building inspections within its jurisdiction, while MODL will continue providing building inspection services for MODL, Bridgewater, and Lunenburg.

    Residents and contractors who prefer traditional methods will still be able to access in-person service and paper application forms.

    Coffee & Create Your Account Sessions

    To help users get started, building officials will host a series of "Coffee & Create Your Account" sessions at local building supply stores. Attendees can enjoy a coffee, set up their portal account with one-on-one assistance, and ask questions about permitting requirements and new building efficiency standards.
