Development Permits - Map Search

ACCESSING DEVELOPMENT PERMIT INFORMATION The City of Edmonton's Urban Planning and Economy Department offers a public dataset where you can search for development permits by type, status, location, and description of work. This dataset also showcases the outcome of development permit applications. UNDERSTANDING DEVELOPMENT PERMITS IN EDMONTON A development permit is the City of Edmonton's official approval for how you plan to use a site, as well as the size and location of any buildings or structures you intend to construct. It confirms that your development plans meet the regulations outlined in the Edmonton Zoning Bylaw. Obtaining an approved development permit is a crucial prerequisite before you can apply for a building permit to begin construction or a business license to operate. DEVELOPMENT PERMITS VERSUS BUILDING PERMITS It is important to distinguish between development permits and building permits. While some applications may combine both into a single "combination permit," this dataset exclusively covers the development permit portion. If you are looking for building permit data, you will find it in the separate "General Building Permits" dataset offered through OpenData.
