How to look up a building permit in New Westminster
New Westminster publishes its permit records itself, on a ArcGIS FeatureServer open-data endpoint at services3.arcgis.com, in the dataset "Permits - Buildings and Plumbing". That feed is the source this page reads, so a record here can be checked against the city's own copy. Search by civic address first, then confirm the permit number and the issue date. Records the city has not yet published will not appear in either place.
Van Permit Audit holds 5,605 New Westminster permit records, current to 2026-09-24. See the full New Westminster lookup guide for the step by step.
