Building & Construction

Building Permits protect your interests by providing an independent review to ensure that the materials and methods employed on your project are safe according to the minimum standards outlined in the BC Building Code and the District of Oak Bay Bylaws.

A Building Permit is required before constructing, altering, renovating, moving, relocating, or demolishing a building or structure, as well as some other specific activities. A Building Permit must be obtained from the District before work begins.
