Approval Process

Approval Process

The City's Application Process requires that you provide information about your construction project such as who, where, when and how the work will be done.
Applications for a simple alteration or accessory structure (e.g. deck) can be processed fairly quickly, while more complex proposals may take longer.

The application process begins with staff reviewing your application for completeness. If there are deficiencies with your application or drawings, staff will contact you by telephone or e-mail, if address provided.

The applicant is solely responsible for ensuring that all requirements are satisfied and that Building Services receives any required approval notices. A permit cannot be issued until all requirements have been met.
