What is a Development Permit?

A Development Permit is a formal document that authorises development within the City of Dawson. Development means the carrying out of any activity involving material change to any use on, over, or under the land or buildings on the land that results in a change or intensity of use. A Development Permit ensures that the proposed change conforms with the City of Dawson’s Zoning Bylaw (ZBL) and Official Community Plan (OCP).
