Basement Completions and Renovations
Basements, kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and exterior doors, structural and framing changes.
When is a permit required?
Typically interior renovations and changes to existing basements do NOT need a permit when the work consists of minor cosmetic upgrades.
In most situations your interior renovation or basement development will only require a building safety approval (building permit). If your design or location does not meet land use bylaw specifications you will also require planning approval (Development Permit).
