Permit lookup FAQ

Vancouver permits, answered.

How do I look up building permits for a Vancouver address?

Type the address or street in the search box. You’ll see the newest permits in the City’s open data that match, with the type of work, value, issue date and builder.

How long does a building permit take in Vancouver?

It depends on the work. Over the last 30 days the median was 84 days from application to issue; new houses and multiplexes take longer than renovations. See the permit wait times tool for each type.

Why do I only see 10 results?

Free searches show the 10 newest permits for what you searched. PermitRadius members get every permit in their radius, filtered for their trade, every Wednesday, with a CSV.

Can I see who owns a property?

No. We remove owner and applicant names and show companies only, in line with BC privacy law. Ownership records are held by BC’s Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA).

Is this the City’s official record?

It’s the City of Vancouver’s open data, which we re-check every morning. For a permit’s official status or inspections, check with the City directly.
