Development Permits

The Development Officer coordinates the application process between the applicant and the Development Authority. To apply for a development permit, please review the development application requirements and submit a completed application form (PDF or Excel version) accompanied by at least two copies of supporting documents such as development plans and specifications.

All applications for a development permit, along with the prescribed fee, shall be submitted to the Development Officer in writing and shall include the information required under Schedule C of the Land Use Order. An application for a development permit shall not be considered complete until the information required under the Land Use Order has been submitted.

A Development Permit Fee of $75.00 (non-refundable), plus $6.50 for every $1,000.00 of construction value of the development to a maximum fee of $20,000.00, is made payable to Kananaskis Improvement District in the form of a cheque or money order.

Under contract to the KID, Superior Safety Codes Inc provides safety code permitting and inspection services according to the Safety Codes Act.

The development review process may take up to 180 days upon receipt of a complete application. Notices of the Development Authority’s decision are sent out to the applicant along with any conditions that may apply.
