Permits & Applications

The following services will be unavailable from March 24-27 due to system upgrades: 

  • applying for permits online through mypermits.burnaby.ca
  • applying for permits in-person at City Hall
  • paying invoices online through invoices.burnaby.ca 
  • paying invoices in-person at City Hall 

For buildings with newly designed structures that require existing service connections to be adjusted. 

Additional Information:

Older/original homes were serviced by connections to City sewers that were appropriate for that time. Many new homes are being designed with basements in mind, which results in the need for deeper foundations. Service connections may need to be adjusted either by increasing their depth, or their location.

Before a building design is completed/approved, the designer/owner/builder should find out if the existing service connection(s) and location of connection(s) meets the newly designed structure.
