Starting a Project at the Resort Village of Candle Lake?
Building and Development Permits are required for most types of construction or development within the Resort Village of Candle Lake.
The Building Permit ensures that all construction and renovation projects comply with the minimum standards prescribed in the National Building Code, National Fire Code and the National Energy Code of Canada.
The Resort Village also has a Building Bylaw through which the municipality administers the regulations under the Saskatchewan Construction Codes Act.
Development permits are required for changes to the land use (e.g. restaurant to retail business), intensity of use (an addition to a home or a new detached garage), excavation, fill, demolition and building removal.
Development projects must also comply with the standards and regulations within the Resort Village of Candle Lake Zoning Bylaw which administers The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

If you have a current dock permit and wish to install a new dock or boat lift, please use the application form below. An Aquatic Habitat Protection Permit may be required from Water Security Agency.
Dock and boat lift fees must be paid by July 31 each year. A failure to do so will result in a permanent revocation of the permit.
