Edmonton building permit lookup: common questions
Building permit red flags for Edmonton properties
- No permits since 2009 — may indicate deferred maintenance, or that the property hasn't been touched in over 15 years.
- Basement development without finalisation — work may be incomplete, abandoned, or non-compliant.
- Multiple demolition permits — structural changes; verify foundation and load-bearing integrity.
- $50K+ renovation with no follow-up permits — unpermitted work may have been done.
- Garage conversion without permit — likely an illegal dwelling unit.
Pro tip: cross-reference permit history with the property's tax assessment trajectory. If assessed value jumped $100K but no significant permits were issued, the owner may have completed major unpermitted work.
