Getting Started
Building and development permits are required and inspections are performed, to ensure buildings provide the necessary life safety and fire safety requirements. The Building Permit review and corresponding inspections are administered under the regulations contained in the Building Bylaw, the Swimming Pool Bylaw, the Construction Codes Act and the National Building Code of Canada.
Introducing ePermitting
Starting March 1, 2022, building, development and plumbing permits can be done completely online through the City of Saskatoon’s new ePermitting system. ePermitting will let people apply for permits, track the progress of the application and even request inspections all digitally – reducing the need for in person visits to City Hall and increasing transparency around the permitting process.
