Request building plans or property information

Request a copy of building permits or plans

You may request a copy of the building permits for any structures on your property.

Before applying, please be aware:

  • You must be the registered owner of the property to obtain this information. Council does not provide information on neighbour’s properties or to anyone other than the registered owner of the property.
  • Records generally date back to 1994.
  • The fee for plan and document retrieval is a non-refundable administration fee.
  • There is no guarantee that plans will be available.
  • Most physical files are stored offsite. A search for building plans can take a minimum of 15 working days from the time application and payment is received.
