Development Permit and Rezoning Permit Application Process

By Development Permit Application No Comments

The purpose of this post is to provide information on the process of receiving a development permit from your local municipality. When is a development permit needed? According to the city of Vancouver, development is “any change in the use of any land or building, or the carrying out of any construction, engineering or other operation in, on, over or under land, or land covered by water.”  For more information on Vancouver’s permit process, click here. If you are ever unsure about whether or not a development permit is required, contact your local municipality. This could avoid a huge headache in the long-run.

There are various steps in the development permit process. First, contact your municipality Enquiry Centre to check the zoning and relevant bylaws for your property. It is important that the bylaws are current. Next, meet with one of your city’s development planners. You can set up a pre-design conference to learn more about design guidelines and ensure that you are prepared for application. The next step is applying. Be sure to bring all the required documents and drawings with you. To avoid wasting time, check your municipality’s website for a list of application requirements. Along with applying for your development permit, you must pay your application fee. The fees are usually based on the floor area of the development, but they may vary depending on the application’s complexity.

Once you have applied for your development permit, your application with be reviewed. The time for review can vary, depending on various factors. After your development permit application has been reviewed, your application may be approved, approved with conditions, or refused.
