How to apply for a Development, Sign or Building Permit:

Step 1: Determine what zoning district your property resides in

Step 2: Determine if your proposed project is Permitted or Discretionary

  • Once you know your land use district, review the Land Use Bylaw to find the specific regulations that apply to your district, including which uses are permitted or discretionary. 
  • Permitted Uses are uses that are allowed within the zoning district. Discretionary Uses are allowed at the discretion of the Development Authority, depending on their compatibility with neighbouring development. 
  • For more information, review the Land Use Bylaw  page.

Step 3. Download and complete permit application 

  • Complete an application form (see next tab, Application Forms). 
  • Review the application information package relevant to your project. These documents outline the supporting documents needed for permit applications needed for each type of project.  
  • Application information packages can be found under the Residential and Non-Residential tabs.

Step 4: Submit application to the Planning and Development Department

  • Applications may be submitted by email (permits@wetaskiwin.ca), by mail or in person at City Hall.
  • Applications submitted by email must be in PDF format. 
  • Applications are not considered to be complete until all required information and supporting documents are submitted. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
