Questions homeowners ask
Can I post a Toronto basement project before drawings are complete?
Yes. Clearly separate confirmed requirements from ideas that still need professional or municipal input, and ask applicants to state assumptions.
Will my exact address be shown publicly?
No. EZ Clear public discovery uses an approximate area. Share exact access details only in an authorized private conversation when you are comfortable doing so.
