1. How do I submit a Development Permit Application?

Development Permit applications can be submitted three ways:

1. By email – attach the required documents to an email and send it to wpermits.
2. By drop off at the County office - 243019A Highway 13 (southside of Highway 13 across from Reynolds Alberta Museum entrance)
3. By regular mail - Box 6960, Wetaskiwin, AB T9A 2G5

2. How do I pay application fees?

The Development Permit application fee will depend on the type of development proposed, the zoning of the parcel, and whether or not a variance (relaxation of a setback) is being requested. Please refer to the Fees and Charges Bylaw - Schedule C to view Development Permit fees. 

Payment of fees may be made by cash, cheque, debit or credit card. For more information visit payment options.

3. What happens if my application is incomplete?

Applications are NOT considered complete until ALL of the required information and fees have been provided. An incomplete application form and/or illegible supporting information may result in the application being returned to the applicant.

4. How long does it take to get my Development Permit?

The time to process an application can vary widely, depending on the type of development. If the development is a permitted use in the zoning district, it can typically take 5-7 business days. If the application is a discretionary use in the zoning district or needs to be referred out due to a request for variance, an application can take one month or more due to the extra processing requirements.
