Gas Permits

BC Safety Authority

Permit requirements

 
You may not complete any work on a gas system without a permit. To do the work, we recommend that you hire a BC Safety Authority licensed contractor.
 
If you wish to do-it-yourself and have sufficient knowledge and ability to do the work, you may apply for a permit, provided that:

  • The work will be done on a single-family fully detached dwelling that is, or is intended to be, your permanent dwelling
     
  • The fully detached dwelling does not include one or more self-contained suites.
     
  • No person is being paid to do the work
     
  • There is no other dwelling or premises directly attached to the single-family dwelling
     
  • The work will be done on your vacation premises, such as a cottage, provided the premises will not be rented or used as a source of income for the owner
     

If it looks like you need a permit we recommend you hire a licensed contractor.
