City of Surrey - Tenant Improvement and Building Permit Improvements

At their meeting on March 10th, Council endorsed the implementation of a modernized tenant improvement building permit process, including the Minor Tenant Improvement Program. 

To simplify and streamline the approval process for tenant improvements, staff are proposing to:  

  • Modernize the approval process for all tenant improvement building permits (dedicated review teams, simplified applications requirements, parallel review, digital reviews); and  
  • Implement a Minor Tenant Improvement Program, with a targeted turn around of 2-3 business days. 

Additional information can be found in the  full report by City staff.
