Please submit your completed application package to the District Transportation Officeor at a Front Counter BC in your area (Front Counter BC is a single window service for clients of provincial natural resource ministries and agencies. The Kamloops centre is the first in a series to be opened throughout B.C.). Be as thorough as possible, since Ministry staff cannot process applications with required items missing.

Items may include:

Provincial Public Highway Permit Application, if applicable
Application fee, if applicable
An authorization letter from the owner if someone else, such as an agent, is applying on the owner’s behalf
Original sketch plan to scale of the proposal, plus three copies if over 11" x 17"
Area Map showing location of the proposal (e.g. 1:5000 scale)
A municipal development permit and plan where applicable

If approval is necessary for a zoning bylaw, development permit or an amendment to a land use contract in a controlled area as defined in Section 52 of the Transportation Act, prepare plans of your development proposal and make application to your local government. Your local government representatives will refer your application to the appropriate office of the Ministry for our approval.

For requirements specific to the permit or approval you are applying for, see Section 3, Apply.
