Building & Development
Plan, Apply and Build with Confidence
Building and development projects in Tofino may require approval from the District’s Building, Planning, and Infrastructure and Public Works teams.
This page provides access to information about building permits, inspections, development applications, property information, and other approvals that may apply.
Before beginning any clearing, excavation, demolition, construction, renovation, or other development work, property owners and applicants should confirm which permits and approvals are required.
Applications can be submitted through the District’s online permit portal.

Some projects require more than one District approval.
For example, you may need a development permit or variance before applying for a building permit.
Make sure you have all required approvals before clearing land, excavating, constructing, or demolishing.
