Building and Development

Prince Albert City Council will consider a report from Administration on Tuesday October 14, 2025 introducing a Zoning Bylaw Amendment to permit “4-Units as of Right” in all residential zones, excluding Country Residential. This proposed change is required to qualify for funding under the Canadian Housing Infrastructure Fund.

The City of Prince Albert will join a Saskatchewan delegation led by Government Relations Minister Eric Schmalz and Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff in Ottawa this week to advocate for a renewed cost-shared federal infrastructure program that is vital to the future growth and stability of municipalities across the province.

A new tax incentive program is now available for developers building new commercial or multi-unit residential projects in Prince Albert. The program, approved by City Council on July 21, 2025, offers a declining scale tax abatement over four years and applies to new construction projects approved after that date.

As construction season gets underway, the City of Prince Albert is reminding residents, contractors, tradespeople, and business operators that a valid business license and the appropriate building permits are required before commencing any work within city limits.
