CoA Application

COA application service providing expert guidance, representation, and support for smooth approvals and successful variance outcomes.

Understanding the Committee of Adjustment

​

The Committee of Adjustment (CoA) is an independent decision-making body in Toronto that deals with applications for minor variances, consents, and other site-specific zoning permissions. If your project does not fully align with current zoning by-laws, you’ll need approval from the CofA before moving forward.

​

When a CoA Application Might Be Required

​

You may need CoA approval in situations such as:

• Designing a second-floor addition that exceeds the permitted height.

• Constructing an extension that sits closer to a property line than zoning allows.

• Developing a laneway or garden suite that requires site-specific variances.

​
