Step 1: Review the rules and fees for your project.
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).
