Building Records Search

Effective January 28, 2019, telephone requests will no longer be accepted for building record searches. To obtain building records, please use our Online Building Records Search, or visit the Permit, Licence & Inspection Services counter at the Civic Facility located at 20338 – 65 Avenue.

The following items can be obtained through this service with an associated fee:

Copy of a survey certificate
Copy of building permit(s)
Date of the Accepted Final Inspection
Copy of a site plan (may include well & septic locations if applicable)
Location of a septic field
Copies of the drawings (to confirm square footage of the building). Drawings can only be released to the registered owner or owner authorized applicant (with identification). If the owner is a company, a director search will be required prior to processing your request.

Our goal is to deliver any information found within 5 business days. Copies of documentation must be picked up at the Permit, Licence & Inspection Services Department and fees paid prior to their release. Office hours are 8:30am – 4:30pm Monday to Friday (excluding all statutory holidays). Payment can be submitted by cash, VISA, MasterCard, American Express or debit.

When it is determined research will exceed 15 minutes of time, a fee for research over 15 minutes will be applied (per hour).

Note: additional authorization may be required from the strata/management company for strata properties.

Requests for copies of all other information must be submitted through a Freedom of Information request. Requests for a File Research letter must be submitted to the Permit, Licence & Inspection Services Department along with payment in the amount of $105.00 per property identifier.

Note: Once you are notified that the documents are ready, they must be picked up within 14 days
