The City of Fernie has updated its online permit tracking to include the status of building permit applications.
City staff say you’ll be able to see the number of applications in the queue and which ones are currently being reviewed.
Planning manager Derek Cimolini said it will help show where permits are at but they won’t have specific timeframes.
“In a perfect world we’d love to be able to give a date for when your permit will be issued but there are so many variables to each application that comes in,” he said.
“They’re all unique and there’s uncertainty. If we have to ask for something we have no control over how long it will take the applicant to get it. We just don’t know what those times are.”
Timelines vary due to multiple factors, including the complexity, completeness and volume of inspection requests among others.
