SURREY, B.C. – The City of Surrey has unveiled a new Multi-Family and Complex Building Permit Portal.
“By expanding online permitting capabilities to include multi-family and complex building permits — alongside earlier offerings for electrical, plumbing and sign permits — the city is fulfilling an important objective outlined in the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) Action Plan,” a release states.
After registering through Planning and Development’s Client Services Centre, multi-family and complex, which includes commercial, industrial, institutional and tenant improvement, building permit applicants will receive access to:
- real-time updates on their permit status;
- a detailed list of plan review deficiencies;
- any outstanding payments and the flexibility to make online payments for eligible fees; and
- they can request an inspection following permit issuance.
This expansion of online permitting is part of a phased approach the city is undertaking in order to achieve proposed development and permit approval targets that aim to reduce timelines by a minimum of 30 per cent.
The new targets, which will be on the city website in early 2025, include townhouses, low-rise and highrise projects.
