The PRRD requires building inspection within a specified area of the region. It is voluntary to obtain a building permit outside of that area.

PRRD Bylaw No. 1189, 1999 governs the administration of the building inspection service, and the BC Building Code 2006 provides the standards for which inspections are made.

There is one full time Building Inspector for the PRRD in the Fort St. John office.

If you intend to start construction you should first check with our building inspector regarding requirements for obtaining a building permit.
