Welcome to Safety Codes

The Town of High River has put a temporary pause on Final Grade Certificates as Town Administration review internal policies and requirements. Learn more by reading our letter to contractors.

The Safety Codes team reviews and processes permit applications in the following disciplines: building (new construction, renovations, additions), demolition, gas, plumbing, and electrical.

Our team is also responsible for construction design approvals in order to ensure all projects meet the minimum building code requirements of the National Building Code – 2023 Alberta Edition, the Safety Codes Act, and the Town of High River’s Quality Management Plan. All associated inspections are administered and managed through the Safety Codes group.

We are here to assist you in determining which permits you require in order to make your project successful and compliant.
