The City of Revelstoke has issued 62 building permits to date representing more than $22,000,000.00 in construction value. By way of comparison the total value of permits issued in 2016 and 2015, respectively, were $19,300,000.00 and $15,100,000.00.
Recent staff turnover and vacancies in the Development Services and Engineering Departments has resulted in a backlog of building permit applications with twenty-seven complete applications awaiting processing by staff as new building permit applications continue to be submitted. This has resulted in an 8 - 10 week processing time for complete applications, something that the City is working to address.
