The Permits Section is responsible for ensuring that construction at Vancouver International Airport adheres to the Facility Permit Process. The airport is located on federal land, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the City of Richmond. As such, the Vancouver International Airport Authority (the "Authority") requires that all construction projects on airport lands, including the alteration or modification of existing structures, comply with the Facility Permit Process.

The Facility Permit Process is established in the Authority's Land Development and Construction Bylaw and Development Rules documents. The permit process applies to construction undertaken by both third parties and the Authority.

A party seeking to construct, modify or demolish a structure on the Authority lands must apply for and obtain a Development Permit for a new facility and/or a Facility Permit (FAP).
