A building permit allows the construction, alteration, repair, relocation, demolition or change of occupancy for any building to commence in compliance with Alberta Building Code. The code is designed to reduce potential hazards of unsafe construction to provide for public health, safety, and welfare in the community. Mandatory inspections by the City’s Safety Codes Inspectors complement the contractor’s experience and act as a system of checks and balances resulting in a safer project.
Both a Development Permit and a Building Permit are required for most building construction and additions in the City of Chestermere. It is best to confirm with the Development Services Department whether you need a permit for your construction or renovation project.
