Land Development Approvals

Your project could require additional planning approvals such as a development permit, variance, etc, which could affect the timing of your project. Check with the Planning & Development staff prior to your building permit application.

The Band facilitates a pre-application meeting with staff at your request. This meeting can be used as a tool in the planning process and helps to expedite the building permit application process. Please contact the Planning & Engineering staff for more information or to book an appointment.

ALL supporting documents are required at time of application.

Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

A separate application is required for each structure.

A BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION FEE, BUILDING PERMIT FEE and DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGES will be invoiced.

On request by a developer, the Council may, in its sole discretion, allow the developer to pay development cost charges in installments, provided that at least one-third (1/3) of the development cost charges must be paid on the date of building permit issuance or subdivision approval, as the case may be, one-half (1/2) of the balance must be paid within one (1) year of the date of building permit issuance or subdivision approval, and the balance must be paid in full within two (2) years of the date of building permit issuance or subdivision approval.

Refer to the following application checklists to ensure you have a complete application. Applications will be screened for completeness at the Planning & Engineering Department prior to formal acceptance. Plans that fail to meet the Application Checklist standards will not be accepted and will require amendments and re-submission.

Please check that you have all the information required in the Application Checklists before applying for your permit. Should you need further information prior to application, please contact Planning & Engineering Department staff for building permit application information.
