Why Permits?


Permits are here for your protection. The major benefit of obtaining a permit is knowing that your project will conform to the safety standards that have been adopted under the Safety Codes Act and that the appearance and use is consistent with the context of your neighbourhood.

What Permits Are Required?


If you are planning a new development, renovations to an existing property or changing the use of a current building, you may require permits from the City of Beaumont. Depending on the type of construction, you may need to apply for different types of permits. Some of the permits that may be required are:
  1. Development Permit
  2. Building Permit
  3. Additional Permits
  4. How Do I Apply?

A development permit ensures that the location, size and use of a building comply with the Beaumont Land Use Bylaw

  • Development permits and approvals need to be obtained for new construction, renovations, and changes to how a building is being used.
  • All properties within the City of Beaumont are zoned and that zoning determines the type of building and what use is allowed.

To determine the development regulations for your property first, find your property’s zoning designation using our Land Use Bylaw Map
