Sign Permits and Regulations
Due to new Provincial COVID-19 regulations, any paper copy applications and business licence submissions will be held for a minimum 4 days before being accepted. This will result in a delay of processing your application.
It is recommended that all Planning & Development applications be submitted electronically to fortplanning@fortsask.ca to avoid any delays and to respect the health and safety of City staff as we continue to provide services during this pandemic.
If you have any question, please call 780-992-6198.
