Expiry watch

No town publishes expiry dates. These are estimates from each town's building bylaw and the published issue date: a permit lapses if work has not started by a set time, and most bylaws also set a maximum life. A lapsed permit means a new permit, and often new work.

About these numbers

  • West Kelowna. Read every day. Newest permit November 10, 2026. Publishes application dates. No declared values.
  • Counts are permits issued, read from each town's public record. Applications still in review are counted only in the pipeline.
  • Expiry dates are estimates from each building bylaw, read on November 13, 2026, and never a statement about a particular permit.
  • Map dots are rounded to about 100 metres. We never show the name of a private person.
