“We’ve taken the hassle out of applying for our most popular home improvement permits by offering homeowners the ability to apply for these services from the comfort of their own home,” says Jacqueline Nishikawa, project manager with The City of Calgary. “Customers will be able to apply, upload documents and pay for their permit in a few easy steps, and in most cases, obtain their permit within a business day.”

Permits are required and can be obtained online for the following projects: Basement and interior renovations; garages, sheds, greenhouses; decks (uncovered), and; homeowner plumbing or electrical permits.

According to Nishikawa, the City is introducing online services for these popular home improvement projects ahead of time to maximize these benefits for its customers and remaining home improvement permits will be available online by summer 2018.
