Vancouver Building Bylaw

Vancouver Building Bylaw

Vancouver is currently the only municipality in Canada that enacts its own building codes. Other cities instead use the National Building Code of Canada and the provincial codes that are derived from it. Vancouver's code is also derived from these but includes some local changes. The current Code was enacted on November 1, 1999.

Because of copyright issues, the city does not make it available online, but it can be purchased at the Enquiry Centre at City Hall.
