Electrical and gas permits
A detached shop over 10 square metres needs a City permit and must sit 1.2 m from the lane. Heat needs a gas permit for a gas unit, and big tools or a welder may need an electrical upgrade. Running a business from the shop is a separate zoning question.
Power is the real question
Woodworkers, mechanics and hobby welders need very different electrical service. Ask for the panel size in the shop, whether there is a 240 V circuit, and whether the work was permitted. Dust collection and ventilation matter too, especially if the shop shares a wall with living space.
Inspecting the shop
- Check the amperage of the main panel and whether the shop has a subpanel.
- Ask for permits for the shop building, heater and wiring.
- Look for ventilation if you work with finishes or fuel.
- Ask the City about home business rules if you plan to sell from the shop.
Selling a home with a shop
Shop buyers ask about power first, so the team lists panel size and any subpanel along with the shop dimensions.
