Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I get a copy of my building permit plans?
If you are the owner or have the owner's written consent, you can view building permit plans within the Municipal Hall. Plans can only be viewed; the District does not routinely provide copies of plans. Please note that the District of Coldstream does not have all building permit plans. It may take a few days to research if we have any plans for your house.
