Do I need a permit for demolition?

As part of your application, you will need to submit:

• Application forms
• Demolition site plans showing the location, dimensions, outline, and name of the building or structure being demolished. This can be based on a Real Property Report (RPR).
• Estimated value of the building(s) or structure(s) being demolished

Applicants should review the applicable section of the Land Use Bylaw, which outlines regulations and requirements for demolition activity across all land use districts.
