I don't know of anyone who has done so, but it feels this whole approach is less defensible for a hardwall, yurt-shaped structure. And at least one township (North Frontenac) hasn't been sure what to do, and has at least mooted the idea that they would insist on a permit for the deck substructure but ignore the yurt (look up Rush-Inglis, yurt, North Frontenac, 2017-2018). Some townships don't allow regular use of temporary structures anyway, or want to permit them too. Some townships disagree with that, and others might if they knew about it. Some people have taken the position that a (soft-sided) yurt on a removable deck is a temporary structure, and so no need to seek permission to build it. That's where you need to have local conversations. Some allow them, and regulate them less or enforce the regulations less. Townships vary widely in their openness and flexibility towards "hunt camps", which are not dwellings but places for temporary sleepover while making recreational use of the land. And that's before you even think of installing a wood stove.
#ONTARIO BUILDING CODE 2015 CODE#
Most townships have minimum building footprint rules that you will violate, expensive septic system requirements that will seem out of place for a structure this size, and there will likely be a whole range of Ontario building code requirements that such a yurt will do differently, and so need exceptions, engineer reports, etc. Building a yurt-like hardwall structure as a permitted dwelling (residence) is going to be a challenge anywhere outside unincorporated townships in Ontario.
