Building & Development

A Development Permit (Development Permit FORM A.pdf) is required PRIOR to any development.  It ensures that the development conforms to the Villages’ zoning bylaw.  There is no cost for a development permit.

A Building Permit (Form A Building Permit.pdf) is required for:  new building construction, garages/carports, decks (not built on grade), mobile homes,  basement development in a dwelling, renovation, alteration or addition to an existing building, fireplaces, wood stoves and heaters, change or use or occupancy of a building.

Permits are NOT required for:  fences, driveways and parking lots, sidewalks, painting, decorating, laying carpet and general maintenance, replacement using the same materials and not affecting structural, electrical or mechanical systems.

The Village of Loreburn has contracted the services of Municode Services.  They are based out of Warman, SK.

The cost of a building permit varies depending on what you are building.  An accurate cost will be provided to you once your building permit is submitted.   Permit fees must be paid BEFORE a permit will be issued.

Yes a permit is still required.  Also, a pre-move inspection is required to determine the structural integrity of the building.  You would contact the Village’s building inspector directly to request this.  It is recommended that this inspection be done PRIOR to the purchase of the building to ensure that you are purchasing a structurally sound building.

1. Apply for a development permit.
2. After the development permit is approved, a building permit application is then taken out.  A Request for Services (with the Village) and the Building Permit Application must all be filled out.  This ensures that any required documentation is included with your permit application when you submit it.
3. Once submitted to the Village Office, administration then forwards it to the building inspector.
4. Once the information and plans have been reviewed by the building inspector, the inspector will return a copy of the reviewed plans to the Village administration and then notifies the applicant that the permit is formally approved, pending payment of the permit fee or not approved.

The supporting information that will be required will depend on the type of construction that you will be doing.  We have information sheets (listed below) that are available at the Village Office & on the website:

• MuniCode Deck
• MuniCode Detached Garage
• MuniCode Attached Garage
• MuniCode Mobile Home

When submitting your application for a building permit, you will also need to include the following:

1. A completed Building Permit Application
2. A completed Request for Services (with Village Office) along with the supporting information including a site plan drawing.
3. A complete set of construction drawings is also required.  Failure to submit the required information will delay the issuance of your building permit.

Yes, a Permit to Demolish a Building (pdf) is required.  There is no fee for a demolition permit, however, a $1000.00 deposit is required.  Once the site is restored to satisfactory condition, the deposit will be returned as per Section 6 of the Village of Loreburn Building Bylaw #4/2014.

The process is the same for a commercial building.   Depending on the project, additional drawings may be required.
