These points come from the Town of Okotoks' building and renovation permits page. Confirm the current rules with the Town before you start.
- A building permit is needed for basement development and for renovations, and the Town asks for metric drawings.
- An engineer's report is required where foundation walls are cored or cut, or for structural changes and new or enlarged windows.
- A development permit generally isn't needed for interior renovations. The exception the Town notes is a new entrance that doesn't meet setbacks.
