Do I need a permit for that?

Do I need a permit for that?  This is something I run into more often than you may think.  In the City of Leduc, any structure over 100 sq ft requires a permit. This includes even those “sunroom/gazebo” type detached enclosures that you can buy from Rona.  You see lots of folks out there with these great looking gazebos in their backyard, but BEWARE, if you happen to purchase one over 100 sq ft you will need a permit from the city.  Here’s why: Let’s say you  were to sell your property and have the Real Property Report completed, after that the report needs to go the city for a “letter of compliance”.  If they find a structure like in the above example you may not get the “compliance” stamp from the city. In fact, if it does not meet proper code they may even make you take that lovely gazebo down.  So just a heads up!  Make sure you check with the City of Leduc for all regulations and guidelines regarding structures and what’s allowed and what’s not.   They’re super friendly down there and don’t bite! #Leduc
