Notice for Applicants: On May 1, 2023, the RDCK as per the updated BC Building Code will require every new building to deliver a level of energy-efficiency performance equivalent to 20% more energy efficient over a 2018 baseline building. With this increase in Energy Step Code requirements, small residential homes (Part 9) will be required to meet Step 3, with more complex buildings (Part 3) required to meet Step 2.
This change will not affect existing in-progress building permits; however, applications received after May 1, 2023 will need to show that the design of the building meets the new mandatory Step Code requirements. Please see the Step Code page for more details. |
For current building permit fees refer to the Fee-Schedule.
Permit applications can be submitted in PDF form to buildingdepartment@rdck.bc.ca. If your files are too large to attach, please email the building department and a ShareFile link will be provided.
APPLICATION AND CHECKLISTS
Building Permit application and supporting checklists documents can be downloaded or hardcopies can be picked up at the RDCK Building Department offices during scheduled office hours.
