Construction or safety codes permits fall under the Safety Codes Act. Leduc County, through the issuance of safety codes permits, supports economic viability, making the county a safe and desirable place to live and work.
We advise you to request an inspection 48 hours before beginning work. Please fill out our request an inspection form or call 780-979-6179 to set up an inspection with one of our safety codes officers. Most inspections are covered by your permit fee unless a request for inspection is received before the work is ready or if re-inspection of deficiencies is necessary.
Before you begin work on a building, electrical, plumbing or gas project or private sewage installation, you will require a safety codes permit. If you have any questions, or are unsure if a permit is required, please contact us by email or give us a call at 780-770-9322.
