    Survey: Building Permit Process

    Please take a moment to complete this short survey. Your feedback will help identify any issues or concerns with the RDOS building permit process. 

    Survey closes Friday, May 6, 2022.

    Please note, building permits can take between four and eight weeks to process. This time variation is dependent on the volume of applications, inspection requests, special projects, and current staffing levels. Other delays may be due to Planning Development Permits (watercourse and environmentally sensitive development permit), and incomplete applications requiring revised plans or additional information. 

    Building Permit fees cover staff time to process applications, including data entry, clerical support, hard costs, technical plan review, site inspections, professional development, and potential legal costs.

    This is an anonymous survey. Please call or send an email if you have questions about the building permit process.
