Column: From the Desk of Greg Hofmann – Director of Planning & Development

Below are a few questions frequently asked of the Planning & Development Department this time of year:

I want to build a deck. What do I need to know?

I want to put up a new fence. Do I need a permit for that?

What is a development permit anyway? Do I need one for what I want to do?

I’m selling my house and my lawyer requested a Compliance Certificate. How do I obtain one?

I’m thinking of installing a hot tub in the back yard this summer or maybe even a swimming pool. Do Alberta’s Safety Codes apply?

I want to open a business in Morinville. How do I begin? What do I need from the Town? How can the Town help me?
