Property and Land Development/Home Improvements

Whether renovating your home, developing land, or simply making updates, property/land development and home improvements are common for new or experienced homeowners.

The Planning and Development department provides services related to land use planning and development permitting.

Do you know about the Land Use Bylaw No. 99/059? The Land Use Bylaw (LUB) regulates all use and development of land and buildings in the RMWB. Learn more about the LUB at rmwb.ca/lub.

Do you need a permit for that? Common projects that require permits include the following:

• building a home
• adding a legal basement suite
• starting renovations
• demolishing a structure
• building an accessory building (e.g. deck/shed/ playhouse/garage)
• starting a home business
• building/occupying an office space
• making changes to water, sewer or storm lines
• locating/relocating a manufactured home
• putting up a sign

If you are unsure about whether or not a permit is required, or which permit you need, contact PULSE.
