Do I need a permit to do my home renovation?
Generally, homeowners are not required to acquire a building permit. However, residents can apply for a demolition permit as well in order to ensure that their property is left in a condition to allow for proper rehabilitation of the home in case of a change of ownership.
Does the City provide grants for projects in my community?
There are City grant programs specifically for local residents and businesses to purchase land, develop commercial and/or commercial condominiums, or relocate their businesses.

What kind of permits does the City issue?
The City requires that a developer apply for a Development Permit to construct or develop property, and then obtain a Building Permit in order to build on that property. The City only issues building permits to developers whose property will be constructed or developed on a commercial basis, except in cases where a development is not required by a city zoning regulation or the owner or tenant has provided consent in writing to allow a commercial use prior to construction or development on a property. An application may also be filed with the B.C. Housing Corporation.
For more information, call 604-650-2345 or 1-800-644-6453 Monday to Friday 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
How do I apply for a construction permit?
If you wish to construct a structure for use as a personal residence, you must apply for a developer permit from your municipality’s municipality building division (Municipality Building Division), which typically costs $100. If you plan on constructing your residence from the ground up, you must apply for a residential construction permit through the MVD.
