Demolition Permits January 2009

Building Information SCRD Building Department

“Demolition Permits”

Subject: Issuance of a “demo” permit to provide for the removal of a structure from a property.

Policy: A Building Permit Application is required. (On the application under ‘what are you applying for’, demolition would be selected.)

The cost of a demolition permit is $150.

A demolition permit includes the structure above grade and the foundation.

An inspection must be called after the work is deemed to be complete.

Prior to the issuance of a demo permit the owner should sign the “Notice to Applicants” and that document should be saved with the file. If the owner believes that the land was used for industrial or commercial purposes then the applicant must fill out the full Schedule 1, (Contaminated Site Profile).

We should also include the archaeological handout with every demo permit and make a note on the permit that the arch handout was given.

All demo permits should be signed by a building inspector and the owner.

The following items should be considered when issuing the building permit:

• The safe termination of services such as water, sanitary, and storm connections as well as gas and electrical utilities.

• Is the demo within a development permit area? Planning department should look at demolition permits

(Continued next page)

Demolition Permits January 2009

“Demolition Permits ” continued

• Hazardous material (asbestos, chemicals, etc.) to be removed as per Ministry of Environment

requirements.

• The contractor is responsible for all permits including arrangements for street closures if necessary.

Reason: Utility charges would continue and the building will remain on the tax roles until a demo permit has been issued.

GYPSUM BOARD DISPOSAL Beginning June 1, 2012 at SCRD landfill sites

Until the 1980’s the tape and joint compound used to seal seams, and fill gaps and corners

between gypsum boards may have contained asbestos. Asbestos containing material is safe if it

is left intact. When it is disturbed or damaged asbestos fibers are released in the air and when

inhaled can lead to asbestos-related disease such as asbestosis and mesothelioma. Asbestos

related diseases usually develop many years after the person has been exposed to asbestos.

If the tape and joint compound contains asbestos, then you must wear appropriate protective

equipment and precautions must be taken to contain the release of asbestos into the air when

disturbed. Before you begin your renovation or demolition project:

Contact a qualified professional to sample the joint compound and have it tested for

asbestos (see list of Testing Providers);

If the lab results show no asbestos, then you can take the gypsum to SCRD

landfill sites with your lab results and completed form (see reverse); without

lab results the gypsum will not be accepted.

If positive for asbestos content (0.5% or greater) contact a certified Asbestos

Abatement and Disposal company regarding its safe removal and disposal.

SCRD landfill sites will not accept this material.
