Permits and approvals for bathroom renovations in West Vancouver
The District of West Vancouver is among the strictest municipalities in Greater Vancouver. West Van requires permits for work that other municipalities consider minor, mandates more registered-professional oversight (architect, structural engineer, energy advisor stamps), and conducts thorough plan review. The District also operates a Tree Bylaw that protects trees with a DBH of 20cm or more on properties undergoing development — a December 2025 amendment that affects many renovation properties. Renew Co manages the entire process including the professional coordination and Tree Bylaw applications when needed.
