City of Vancouver’s New Multiplex Streamlined Permit Process

The City of Vancouver has launched a streamlined permit process for smaller multiplex projects. 

 Apply for all development and building permits at once. 

  • Faster and more predictable processing expected. 

  • Smart forms tailored to your project. 

  • Fewer documents needed overall. 

  • Estimated fees up front. 

 Use the streamlined process if: 

  • Your site is in the R1-1, RT-7, or RT-9 zone

  • You're building exactly 3-4 units split across 2 buildings 
    (Building A: 2 units, Building B: 1-2 units). 

  • You’ll apply for all permits at once (development and building).

Apply using the streamlined process
