ePermits
Change is coming - effective October 6, 2025, development and building permits for new dwellings will transition to our online ePermits system. Applications can be made under the New low density residential application option. At that time, Strathcona County will no longer provide hard copies of approved permits for low density residential properties. Builders will be emailed all approvals and will be required to have printed copies at the building site. Â
*Low density residential includes: single dwellings, semi-detached homes, multi-family dwellings and associated accessory structures.
