Building Permit Notices – Rocky View County has updated the way building and subtrade permit expiration notices and closed permits are sent. Previously, when multiple permits within a project shared the same expiry date, you may have received one combined notice or report. With the new automated system, notices and reports will be sent individually for each permit, improving accuracy and ensuring no permit is missed.
