Request a Preliminary Planning Review
Before you submit your online building permit application to the online portal, you must have a preliminary planning review form completed by the Planning department. To request a preliminary planning review form:
1. Download, complete and scan the property declaration form. If you don’t have a scanner, you can take a photo of each page instead.
2. Complete and submit the webform below. Be sure to upload the requested documents and provide all required information.
Once received, the Planning department will review your submission and provide you with a complete preliminary planning review form to the email address you provide. The preliminary planning review form will indicate if you may continue with submitting a building permit application or if planning related approvals are needed before you submit your building permit application. We will contact you if we have questions or require additional information to process your request.
Please note, preliminary planning reviews are processed in the order they are received. Due to high volume of submissions, the current response time is approximately three business days.
We suggest requesting your preliminary planning review with the form below, however, you may also email the required information to askplanning [at] rdn.bc.ca (askplanning[at]rdn[dot]bc[dot]ca).
