Does your project require demolition?

Your demolition materials may require an inspection from our Waste Management department, as not all materials are accepted at our County Transfer Stations. See our Waste Management page for more details.

All safety codes for the County of St. Paul and their corresponding costs are issued through Superior Safety Codes Inc., including permits for buildings, electrical, gas, plumbing, and private sewage disposal systems.

Click Before You Dig

In Alberta, utility cables and pipes for heat, electricity, water, and cell/internet service lie unseen just below our sidewalks, fields, farms, and yards.

Utility Safety Partners (formerly Alberta One-Call) can provide you with safe digging locations before you start your projects.
