The Safety Codes Act, Alberta Building
Code, and other applicable codes
and standards regulate how buildings
are designed, built or renovated to
protect the health and safety of the
occupants. Lac Ste. Anne County is
accredited for Safety Codes Approval
in all areas (building, electrical, gas/
propane, plumbing and private sewage
disposal) except fire, primary electrical
and telecommunications lines. Obtaining
Safety Code Permits is a requirement of
the Alberta Safety Codes Act.
Zoning & Regulations
The Land Use Bylaw outlines the uses
and development regulations of a
particular zone. All permit applications
must meet the zoning regulations of
the property, including land use, lot
dimensions, lot area, etc. To verify the
zoning, look at your property within the
Land Use Bylaw online, LSAC.ca/LUB.
Special Event Permits
Whether you’re planning an indoor or
outdoor event, locating it on County or
private property, opening the event to the
public or keeping it private, the Special
Event Permits section of the website,
LSAC.ca/Special-Event-Permits will help
you determine the permits, approvals
and information you will need.
What Does Subdivision Mean?
Subdivision is the process of dividing
land into parcels to obtain separate legal
titles for each parcel. Subdivision is also
used for adjustments of existing lot lines,
consolidations and condominiums. Only
the landowner or an agent acting on
behalf of the landowner may apply for
subdivision. Land owners generally hire
or contract an Alberta Land Surveyor or
other professionals to act on their behalf.
Subdivision & Development
Appeal Board
This Subdivision and Development
Appeal Board hears appeals on decisions
made by the County, and provides a

impartial decisions applying the principles
of justice and procedural fairness. Anyone
who claims to be affected, and who
wishes to lodge an appeal against any of
the conditionally-approved developments,
must do so in writing to the Clerk of the
board on or before the dates as noted
in each notice.
