DEMOLITION PERMIT

Welcome to the online application portal for demolition permits. Follow the steps below to ensure a smooth and successful application process.

Step 1: Review Requirements
Before starting your application, please review the Demolition Permit Requirements.
Note: If the demolition is part of a renovation or alteration, the application you need to fill out is an Building Permit Application, which can be found here: Building Permit Application. You do not need to apply for a demolition permit.

Step 2: Prepare Documentation
During the application process, you will be asked to upload applicable documents. Please have the following documents ready if applicable:

  • Appointment of Agent Form: If you are not the registered owner or the only registered owner of the property, complete and upload the Appointment of Agent Form.
  • Hazardous Material Survey Report: If the building you intend to demolish was built before 1990, a Hazardous Materials Survey Report is required, per WorkSafeBC. See the Hazardous Materials Assessment Consultants Professional List [Link] for additional information.

Step 3: Create/Login to a MyCity Profile
Users must be signed in to a personal or business MyCity profile to apply. You will be asked to register or login during the next step of the application process.

Step 4: Complete the Application
Once you have reviewed the requirements, prepared the necessary documentation, and signed in to your MyCity profile, you are ready to start your application. For detailed instructions on navigating each page of the portal, here’s a helpful step-by-step user guide.
