Development Permits

If your land is in a development permit area within the Peace River Regional District, you must get a development permit before clearing or subdividing the land or starting construction, additions or changes to any buildings or structures. We have set up development permit areas to achieve a few goals, including:

• Protecting the environment and wildlife
• Protecting farmland
• Protecting development from hazardous conditions
• Design of commercial and industrial development

How to Apply

Before beginning a development, please contact a planner to make sure your proposal follows regulations or needs an application. Make sure to refer to the Lakeshore Guidelines when considering a development close to a lake.
