CALGARY CITY LINKS FOR BUILDING PERMIT

 

Do you need a permit?

Yes. New house construction will always require a building permit. Additional permits may be required depending on your house's location, design or other factors.

Building safety approval (building permit)

Building safety approval in the form of a Single Construction Permit (SCP) is required to make sure that new single detached, semi-detached or duplex dwellings meet the safety code requirements. A Single Construction Permit includes:

Additional permits are required for:

• semi-detached dwellings. One SCP is required for each side of the semi.
• detached garages. For garage requirements, visit calgary.ca/garages
