Building

The Building Department ensures that construction in the Town of Comox is safe, efficient, and compliant with provincial and local regulations. Our team reviews building permit applications, conducts inspections, and provides guidance to homeowners, contractors, and developers throughout the building process. By supporting responsible construction and enforcing the BC Building Code, we help create well-built homes, safe structures, and a resilient community for everyone. If you have a construction project you’d like to discuss, our Building Inspector is available to assist Monday through Friday, from 8:30-9:30 a.m. and 3:00-4:30 p.m. or by email or by phone at 250-339-2250.

Permits are issued for a wide range of projects, including, but not limited to, sign permits, decks, pools, and single-family dwellings, as well as apartment buildings, commercial or industrial developments, and demolitions.
