Permits are required for all residential and commercial structures over 100 sq/ft. Bunkhouses regardless of size are required to have an approved development and building permit.
Development Permits are used to ensure that the development meets all of the zoning bylaw requirements such as the type of building that is proposed and to ensure that it meets the required setbacks.
Building Permits are used to ensure that the construction of the building will meet the requirements of the Construction Codes Act.
