City of Revelstoke Back Alleys

Did you know that the alleys are the property of the City of Revelstoke and many are used by Fire Rescue Services? The City would like to remind residents and businesses not to use alleys for storage of personal items such as firewood, vehicles, garbage, etc.

With the snow making its way down the mountains, it is even more important to keep fire lanes and snow removal routes clear, effective immediately, all items in alleys are to be removed. Bylaw Officers will be making rounds to ensure items are cleaned up. Any item occupying any portion of a road or public place may be removed, detained or impounded by City personnel.

Call Public Works at 250-837-2001 with any questions.

2018 Building Code Update

The 2018 version of the BC Building Code has recently been released and will be considered to be in effect as of December 10, 2018.

Any building permits submitted to the City of Revelstoke on or after December 10, 2018 will need to comply to ALL requirements of the 2018 version of the BC Building code with no exceptions. This is mandated by Provincial legislation by BC Building Standards and cannot be altered at the Municipal level. Permits submitted prior to this date will be subject to requirements of the 2012 BC Building Code.

We would also like to gauge local interest in an educational workshop on the major changes to the Code so we can determine whether it would be worthwhile to hold one specific to the changes. If you are interested in learning about the major recent code changes please contact the Development Services Department at 250-837-3637.
