Permittees must apply to transfer their park use permit to another entity. Until your transfer application has been reviewed, approved, and a new permit has been issued to the named transferee, you are responsible for all obligations in the park use permit.
The permit that is being transferred must be in good standing before a transfer can be initiated. ‘Good standing’ means that all fees, reports, and required proof of insurance have been submitted for your permit.
Film permits are not eligible for transfer.
The BC Parks regional office will review and make a decision on all transfers.

Applications are not considered complete until the application fee has been paid and, or co-permittee consent is submitted.
Fees can be paid online at the time of application, or at a FrontCounter BC location. See payment guidelines for more information.
