- When entering the address leave off any street types or suffixes.
Example: 120 108th Ave should be searched by entering 120 108.
If it is a condo, it would be entered the same and need to search for the matching parcel number from the list the search creates. - Unless submitting an application for new residential or commercial construction; the MORE INFO tab only requires acknowledgment of the requirement of the NOC.
