Applying for permits

To get a Development or Building permit, you need to complete the proper application forms. 

You can also apply for many permits through ePermits.

Working with a builder

We recommend that your builder apply for the development and building permits, and the specific trades apply for the plumbing, private sewage disposal, gas and electrical permits. 

Permit fees

Fees for permits vary. See the fee schedules.
