View a full list of permits and applications here. PERMITS & APPLICATIONS Development & Building Permits A development permit is a way for the RM to support your building or land use plans by making sure they fit well with the surrounding area and future growth goals. It helps us work together to build a safe, thoughtful, and thriving community. A building permit is approval from the RM that ensures your construction plans meet safety standards set by the building code. What is the difference between a development permit and a building permit? A development permit looks at how your project fits into the surrounding area—things like land use, location, and zoning. A building permit focuses on the construction itself—making sure it’s safe, structurally sound, and up to code. Think of it like this: Development permits guide where and what you can build and building permit guides how you build it. Permitted Use Development application for permitted uses Building Permit Building permit application for all construction. Discretionary Use Development application for discretionary land uses Demolition Permit Permit for building removal. Move Permit Application for building moves within the RM Zoning Bylaw Amendments & Rezoning Bylaw Amendment Application to amend the RM Zoning Bylaw Rezoning Application to Rezone land usage Worksheets for Development These worksheets are used to assist ratepayers with smaller developments and help us gather required construction details for building permits.

The forms are for: Attached & Detached Garages: Cover roof, walls, foundation, finishes, and site placement. Decks: Include height, materials, guardrails, stairs, and spacing. Mobile Homes: Record foundation type, anchoring, grading, and interior safety features. Attached Garage A building information form for an attached garage.
