What Anjou bungalows, split-levels and small buildings ask of a window
The 2021 census counted 18,735 households in the borough, down 0.3% from 2016. Owners hold 43.4% of them, against 36.4% for the City of Montréal. Single-family houses are 17.0% of occupied homes, against 13.9% citywide, and apartments of all kinds are 83.0%.
Bungalows and split-levels set the look
A 2004 City of Montréal heritage study picks two Anjou areas, the Loire sector and the boulevard Yves-Prévost sector, for their bungalows and split-levels. Each street repeats a similar volume, and owners show their taste through materials and colours. The study asks for extra care with any project that changes the volume. A window swap in the same opening leaves the volume as it is.
Small buildings are the biggest block
Duplexes and buildings under five storeys hold 65.4% of occupied homes, more than any other type. In a condo building, read your declaration of co-ownership first, since it can set the look of windows that face the street.
Major repairs are rising from a low level
Occupants report that 7.0% of Anjou homes need major repairs, below the 8.6% citywide. That count still rose 39.2% from 2016 to 2021, while minor repairs rose only 0.9%. A steep rise is a good reason to have every opening looked at in one visit.
Bedroom windows and exits
The City’s page says a bedroom window, or a window in a room that could become a bedroom, must meet the Québec construction code rules for bedroom exits. Some windows must also serve as a second exit under the City’s housing safety by-law 03-096. If anyone sleeps in a finished basement, point that room out at the estimate and we check the clear opening before we choose a window type.
Does Anjou require a permit for new windows and doors?
Usually not, when the new ones match the old in size. The City’s page for Anjou, updated 30 July 2026, says a permit is generally not needed for same-size replacement. A permit is still required when the existing door or window does not meet the rules.
When a permit is still required
The page gives three examples: a bedroom window that must meet the bedroom exit rules, a window that must serve as a second exit, and an exit door. Each must meet the City’s requirements. The page invites you to call the Anjou counter to check your own case.
If you need one: fee and documents
The city page for Anjou sets the fee at $9.80 per $1,000 of work, taxes included. Small jobs still pay a floor: $167.40 for a residential building and $491.70 for any other kind. The file needs a quote with taxes, a certificate of location, a data sheet showing the doors and windows are ENERGY STAR approved, and a current colour photo of each façade you touch. Condo owners add a letter from every co-owner or a syndicate resolution. Fees are not refundable.
Site planning review (PIIA)
The borough applies a PIIA review in certain sectors. Its examples include changing the outside of a building’s main façade. Call the counter before you start. It tells you if your address needs a request and which documents to bring.
The Anjou permit counter
The counter is at 7171 rue Bombardier, 2nd floor, by appointment only. Call 514 493-5115 to talk to an inspector about your project. For PIIA questions, the counter’s line is 514 493-8086.

Haut-Anjou and the Galeries d’Anjou area
About 19 km and 22 to 24 minutes from our Saint-Laurent showroom, with no traffic. The north side of the borough is the closest part. Send a photo of each wall and we plan the visit around your openings.
Boulevard Yves-Prévost and the Loire sector
21 km and about 24 minutes, measured to boulevard Yves-Prévost. These are the bungalow and split-level streets the City’s study singles out. Matching the old frame lines and colours is the usual goal here.
Around the borough hall
About 20 km and 25 minutes, measured to the borough hall on boulevard Louis-H.-La Fontaine. The Anjou-sur-le-Lac park lies about as far, so the trip takes the same time.
Anjou is 19 to 21 km from our showroom
Estimates start from our Saint-Laurent showroom at 1190 Rue Bégin. Each figure is a road distance from OpenStreetMap, rounded, before traffic.

Questions Anjou owners ask
Does Anjou ask for a permit to replace windows?
Usually not. The City’s page for Anjou says a permit is generally not needed for same-size replacement. You need one when the window or door being replaced does not meet the rules, such as a bedroom window that fails the exit requirements.
Can I make my bedroom window smaller?
Ask the Anjou counter first. A bedroom window must meet the Québec construction code exit rules, and a smaller opening can fail them. We measure the clear opening for you and tell you before you order.
Do the Loire and Yves-Prévost streets have special rules?
The City’s 2004 heritage study names both areas for their bungalows and split-levels. It is a study, not a by-law. Call the counter with your address to learn if a PIIA review applies.
Do the windows need to be ENERGY STAR approved?
If your project needs a permit, the City asks for a data sheet that shows ENERGY STAR approval. Our windows are Canadian-made and ENERGY STAR certified, so we can supply that sheet.
Is there money back for new windows?
Yes, through Quebec’s Rénoclimat program, for each eligible window. A house can receive up to $4,500 and a multi-unit building up to $6,000. Ask us for the checklist before any work starts.
