Demolition
If you are planning to demolish a building or structure on your property, you'll need the right permits to make sure it is done safely in accordance with the safety codes act and the Land Use Bylaw. Whether you are removing a building or structure on its own, or planning to rebuild afterward, the City of Fort Saskatchewan is here to help.
Do I need a permit for demolition?
Demolishing any building or structure with a gross floor area of 10.0 m² or larger requires a Development Permit and a Building Permit. These permits can be applied for together or separately.
