January sees slower start to year for building permit values

After a stellar year in 2025, Prince George got off to a bit of a slow start in 2026 for building permit values.

According to a report to be presented to City Council at tomorrow’s (Monday) meeting, the City issued a total of ten building permits in January, worth a combined $2.8 million.

January in 2024 and 2025 saw values of more than $12 million.

One permit was issued for an institutional alteration, worth $1.4 million, while two were issued for new single family dwellings, worth a combined $1.25 million.

These values reflect the construction of the building or structure, and do not include the cost of any mechanical equipment.

Other items to be discussed at tomorrow’s meeting includes a report on sports events hosted in the city in 2025, and potential resolutions for the North Central Local Government Association.

The full agenda can be found here.
