Before You Build a New Home
Both development and building permits are required for the construction of new houses. A development permit is authorization by the Planning and Development Department that your home construction conforms with the land use bylaw. Following approval for your development, your construction plans will be forwarded to Building Inspection Services for preparation of a building permit.
