BC government to streamline the home building process

Posted on January 23, 2023   |  

The new Permitting Strategy for housing will simplify the process and create a coordinated approach to housing-related permits and authorizations. 

This will boost the process and eliminate the need for multiple applications across various ministries.

At present, homebuilding authorizations in BC require multiple provincial permit applications, which span different ministries with different processes. 

This includes permits related to riparian area approvals, water licenses, transportation approvals, roading rezoning, contamination sites, and requirements for heritage inspections.
