If you are planning renovation and construction projects, check if you need a Building Permit before you start any work.

Getting a Building Permit certifies that work done on your home or property meets the BC Building Code. The code governs how new construction, building alterations and repairs are completed and it sets out minimum requirements for:

  • safety
  • health
  • accessibility
  • fire and structural protection
  • energy and water efficiency

A Building Permit keeps you and everyone in your home safe, and it also makes it easier to sell your property in the future by proving the work was done properly.
