Demolition Permit Application

A Demolition Permit is required for the removal of a building from a property or for the removal of a rental suite within a dwelling unit. This permit ensures that the demolition work is carried out safely and that the site is properly cleaned afterward. Additionally, obtaining this permit notifies the B.C. Assessment Authority to update property records by removing the demolished structure from the property assessment.

Bylaw reference Building Bylaw No. 5900

NOTE: Upon permit approval and prior to demolition, the applicant must contact the Operations Utilities Coordinator at 250-550-3620 to arrange for water shut off and meter removal.
Once demolition is complete, the applicant must book a final inspection by calling 250-550-3592 or submit Building Inspection using the online form. A final inspection must be approved before any changes are reflected in Utility Billing and before the Security Deposit is returned.
