Demolition in Anjou
We work across Anjou and, before the first swing of the hammer, we check what the borough's demolition by-law, RCA 35, requires at your address.
Most of Anjou was built in the 1960s and 1970s. That's where most job-site surprises come from.

Permits and by-laws
Anjou has its own demolition by-law, RCA 35, amended in April 2026. One question sorts every case: does the work remove 50% or more of the exterior-wall and roof structure?
That isn't a demolition under RCA 35. You need a renovation permit as soon as the work touches walls, the structure or the foundation.
An accessory building comes down with a certificate of authorization, without going to the committee, unless it's a heritage building.
The application goes to the demolition review committee, made up of the members of Anjou's urban planning advisory committee. Its sittings are public.
On the street, you need a temporary public-property occupancy permit. On your own lot, no permit.
What drives the cost
We don't quote a price without seeing the project. Here is what moves it.
It sets the permit and the borough's fees, which are worlds apart for a shed and for a house.
Testing for asbestos before opening up, and removal by a certified firm if needed, adds a step.
On the street there is a permit and a daily rate. In the back yard there is none, if access allows it.
The Rivière-des-Prairies ecocentre charges businesses by the cubic metre and refuses asbestos, which goes to a specialized site.
Floors, stairs, door widths. A mature tree has to be fenced off during the work, with nothing stored at its base.
We visit, confirm which permit applies, and you get a detailed written quote, step by step.
How it works
Five steps, the same on every job, so there are no bad surprises.
We visit the space to assess the size, materials, access and risks such as asbestos.
We determine which permit the borough requires and prepare the application. It is part of the quote.
A written price that breaks down the size, materials, method, debris removal and CNESST standards.
Protective barriers go up before we start, HEPA filtration when needed, water and power made safe.
Debris sorted to certified facilities, tracking slips handed over, space clean and ready for what comes next.
In Anjou, construction work is allowed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
FAQ
It depends on what the work touches. Removing cabinets, a countertop or flooring needs no permit. Once the work touches walls, the structure or the foundation, you need a renovation permit from the borough.
No. In Anjou, RCA 35 exempts accessory buildings such as a shed or detached garage from the committee: a $50 certificate of authorization is enough, unless the building has heritage status.
It is RCA 35, adopted in 2007 and amended in April 2026. It defines a demolition as removing 50% or more of the exterior-wall and roof structure. Those applications go to the demolition review committee.
Anjou doesn't publish an overall timeline. RCA 35 requires at least 15 days of public notice before the committee sits, then a 30-day review window after the decision before the certificate is issued. The committee can also set a deadline for the demolition, and we build all of it into the schedule from the quote stage.
Yes. In Anjou you need a temporary public-property occupancy permit, processed in 2 business days and valid for 1 month. On your own lot, in the side or back yard, the container needs no permit.
In Anjou, the cost depends on the size of the building, what's inside it, the volume of debris and the borough's fees: $4,500 for the committee review and $1,000 for the public notice when the file goes to committee. We don't give a price without a visit. After the assessment, you get a detailed written quote.
Yes. Contractors hand us their demolition and debris removal so their crew can stay on the rest of the job. We're reachable 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., we schedule the work within Anjou's permitted hours, and we supply the letter stating where the debris goes, which the borough requires.
