Soil Deposit/Removal Permits The Soil Deposit Bylaw 9612 regulates removal and/or deposit of soil (including sand, gravel, and rock) on land within the City of Kelowna.
Homeowners must obtain a permit before removing or depositing any soil from their property. No permit is required to move soil within a property or if the soil moved is less than 50 cubic metres per year.
In highly sensitive areas, the City may require environmental or geotechnical reporting.
Apply for a PermitTo apply for a permit, fill out a Soil Deposit Application form and include full details of the soil deposit/removal, including location of fill, site grading and drainage. Forms should be submitted to Permit Centre on the 2nd floor of City Hall. There is no application fee.
The following list of activities are exempt from the requirement for a soil application permit:
- valid nursery operations
- golf courses
- road and utility corridor maintenance
- other soil deposit/removal activities that are addressed through another current development process (e.g. development permit, subdivision, or building permit).
