Application requirements

Review the development and building permit process to help navigate application requirements. 

Before applying for a building permit:

  • confirm development permit and other supporting approval requirements
    Note: New single/two family dwellings in new greenfield subdivisions with prior development agreements on title will be processed under one combined development/building permit application. Applications for accessory structures in greenfield subdivisions will also be processed as combined development/building permit applications if submitted at the same time as the new house application. New house applications only approve the new house construction. Accessory structures shown on new house constructions plans will be excluded from the approval and must be applied for separately.
  • confirm addressing requirements for any new construction by emailing PropertyAddressing@winnipeg.ca

To apply for a building permit, refer to the permit application for required documentation.
