RDOS seeks feedback on building permit process

News Article

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) is conducting a survey seeking feedback on its building permit process. The anonymous survey is open from March 17 to April 22, 2022. Survey results will help identify any issues or concerns with the building permit process.

Building permit applications have increased exponentially over the past few years at the RDOS. “Building permits can take between four to eight weeks to process,” says RDOS Chair Mark Pendergraft. “The time variation is dependent on many factors, including the volume of applications, inspection requests, and staffing levels. This survey will help staff implement possible changes or improvements.”

Other delays in the building permit process may be due to Planning Development Permits (watercourse and environmentally sensitive development permits) and incomplete applications requiring revised plans or additional information. RDOS staff work diligently to advance building permit requests in a timely manner, and provide applicants with information and guidance throughout the process.
