Sample Maple Ridge Property History Report

What Makes a Maple Ridge Report Different

The City of Maple Ridge publishes its permit records as open data from January 2013: building permits and the electrical, gas, plumbing and sprinkler permits that follow them, with the City's own status for each. Property Proof lists every record at the address, so a home with a long run of trade permits shows its full history. Contractor names are not shown. BC Assessment holds year built and assessed value, so neither is shown. Zoning is drawn from the City's zoning layer as a zone code and category, and there is no open floodplain layer, so the report does not assess flood exposure.

Permit History in the Maple Ridge Example

The permit section lists every permit the City of Maple Ridge publishes against the address. The Maple Ridge example carries 6: Building Permit — Basement Finish (2026), Electrical Permit — Basement Finish (2026), Plumbing Permit — Basement Finish (2026), Gas Permit — Replace (2024), Building Permit — Addition (2023), and Electrical Permit — Heat Pump/Air Conditioner (2019).

Every permit record the City of Maple Ridge holds for the address is listed, trades included, each with the status the City records. The report does not say whether work was finished, because a record is not evidence of that unless its status says so.

Permit records come from City of Maple Ridge Open Data (Building Permits, all permit types), dataset geoservices.mapleridge.ca DataCatalog/EconomicDevelopment MapServer layer 0.

Renovation-heavy pockets like Albion and Silver Valley tend to produce the longest permit trails in Maple Ridge, while buyers looking at Albion, Silver Valley, Hammond, and Town Centre are usually reading the record for work done before they arrived.

Zoning and Land Use in Maple Ridge

The Maple Ridge example is zoned RS-3.

Zoning in a Maple Ridge report is read against the City of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw, with a plain-language note on what the designation permits: single-detached use, secondary suite eligibility, duplex or multi-unit conversion, or mixed use. The report gives the designation and what the bylaw allows; it is not a zoning confirmation letter.

Radon Potential for Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge falls in the Pacific Coastal BC region of the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey. 1 in 75 residential properties in this region tested at or above 200 Bq/m³, the Health Canada action guideline.

This is regional prevalence, not a measurement of the property. Only a long-term test on the specific home establishes its radon level.

What Turns Up in Maple Ridge Records

• The City of Maple Ridge publishes every permit record at an address, building and trades together, from January 2013. Most are trade permits (electrical, gas, plumbing and sprinkler), so the report lists them all rather than showing a home with almost no history.
• Each record shows the City's own status word. The City's layer also holds applications that were held, denied or cancelled, so a record is not evidence that work was permitted or finished unless its status says so.
• Where the City carries a construction value (building permits), the report shows it as the value stated in the City's permit layer. It is not a permit fee, and trade permits carry no value.
• Zoning comes from the City's zoning layer: the zone code and the City's category, with no description added.
• The City does not publish permit records from before 2013, and the report says so. Year built and assessed value are held by BC Assessment and are not shown, and there is no open floodplain layer, so the report does not assess flood exposure.
