Permits & Applications
The Safety Codes Act requires that contractors and homeowners in Alberta obtain permits before beginning work on structures and systems covered under the Safety Codes Act. This work typically includes new constructions, installations, alterations, repairs, relocations, changes of use, demolitions, and removals.
A reference guide is available when applying for Building, Electrical, Gas, Plumbing and Private Sewage Permits. Find it here.
