This is a service for homeowners, contractors, or realtors looking for information about a property. We provide copies of city documents designated for routine release for a small fee.
Property information requests cannot be accommodated as a walk-in service.
Note: this is not a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. If you have a FOI request, please see the information in Corporate Services regarding Freedom of Information.
Pay the fee. For a basic property request, pay the non-refundable fee of $50 by e-transfer to payments@peachland.ca. Reference 'PIR' and the property address in the comments. Alternately, you can pay at Municipal Hall using cash, cheque, or debit card.
Realtors - a copy of the listing contract or confirmed offer to purchase can be emailed along with your request to planning@peachland.ca in place of filling out the form.
Please allow 2-3 business days for your request to be processed after receiving payment, however, response time depends on the complexity of the property and volume of requests.
If the information is available, you will be emailed the following:
notification of active building permits and status
copy of previous permits and occupancy/completion information
copy of survey or location certificate if allowable by copyright
notification of approved development permits and/or variances
confirmation if a registered secondary suite exists
confirmation of community sewer connection or septic system

Documents not considered for routine release (i.e. building plans, professional reports) may still be available. Email planning@peachland.ca and you will be sent a response as to the best way to access non-routine documents. You may be required to get a status letter or complete a Freedom of Information request.
Depending on what you are looking for, you may not need to pay. Use these links to other areas on the website to see if the information is available to the public.
