Servicing Agreement Applications for MyPermit
Starting December 2, 2024, the City of Richmond will accept Servicing Agreement Applications exclusively through MyPermit (see bulletin DevApps-17 Servicing Agreement Applications). Servicing Agreement applications will no longer be accepted in person or by email for this application type. For more information about MyPermit, visit richmond.ca/mypermit.
A Servicing Agreement is a contract between the City and a developer that defines and commits to the works and services required for a development project per the approved drawings and documents, including legal and financial obligations associated with the project.
The City will determine if a Servicing Agreement is required for a project through the staff review process for the associated development application (I.e. Rezoning, Development Permit, Subdivision etc.) and/or building permit. If a Servicing Agreement is required, prior to City's review of the drawings and documents via ePlan and preparation of the legal agreement, an application must be submitted through MyPermit.
A Servicing Agreement application will only be accepted through MyPermit once the associated Development Application has reached the milestone noted below:
- Rezoning - Post Public Hearing letter is issued
- Development Permit - Endorsement is received by the Development Permit Panel
- Subdivision - Preliminary Letter of Approval is issued

How MyPermit for Servicing Agreements Works
The City of Richmond launched MyPermit, an online application portal for building and development related projects. MyPermit enables paperless application submission through a web-based system. As part of the City of Richmond's efforts to improve service delivery, we have transitioned all Servicing Agreement applications to our digital application platform.
The MyPermit system works by allowing property owners (Applicants) or their authorized agents, to apply for a Servicing Agreement through a secure online self-service portal, without having to email or visit City Hall. During the application process, you will need to answer screening questions about your project, upload supporting materials and securely pay the application fee.
Once the application has been accepted, the Applicant will receive a notification from ePlan and be directed to provide contact details for the Civil Engineering Consultant to upload documents for City review. To learn more about ePlan, visit About ePlan Submissions.
