Permits in Calgary
Start with City of Calgary permits. Whether a permit is needed depends on the work; ask your pro who pulls it and build the inspection time into the schedule. Before any digging, request utility locates from Utility Safety Partners (Alberta One-Call). For workplace insurance, check WCB Alberta coverage.
