When planning a construction project in the Regional District of the North Okanagan (RDNO), understanding RDNO permit times is crucial. We recently went through this process for a shop build on a beautiful acreage, and we’re excited to share our experience to help you navigate the RDNO permit process.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Permit in RDNO?
We’re pleased to report that the RDNO permit approval process is currently running smoothly, with our recent shop project taking about one month from application submission to approval. Before that, we spent around a month on engineering and other preparatory work. While there was a bit of back-and-forth with the permit office during a transition period, the overall timeline was very efficient.
A quick turnaround like this is great news for anyone planning a construction project in the RDNO. Whether you’re looking to build a shop, barn, or another structure, you can generally expect permits to be approved in about one month, provided everything is in order.
Navigating the RDNO Permit Process and RDNO Permit Times
When applying for a permit in RDNO, there are a few important steps to follow:
Engineering and Design: Before submitting your application, it's essential to have engineering plans in place. This is typically the most time-consuming part of the process.
Permit Application: Once the plans are ready, you can submit your application. It's important to make sure all required documentation is included to avoid delays.
Approval Process: After submission, RDNO will review your application and either approve or request further information.
As we experienced, there can sometimes be minor delays due to transitions or additional back-and-forth with the permit office. However, the RDNO team is generally efficient, and the permit approval process is relatively straightforward.
Tips for Speeding Up the Permit Process
To ensure you meet RDNO permit times and speed up your approval, here are a few tips:
Get Engineering Documents Ready Early: Having your engineering plans completed before submitting your application can save time and prevent delays.
Ensure All Required Information is Included: Double-check that all necessary documents and details are included in your application. Missing information can lead to delays.
Stay in Communication: Regular communication with the permit office can help keep things on track and address any questions quickly.
