# Do I need a Permit?
If you're planning a project, changing to a property, or opening a business in a space, and aren't sure what approvals may be required, this page is a good place to start. Permit requirements depend on the type of work proposed, how the space will be used, and its location.
This page provides general guidance on when a planning or development permit may be required under the current Land Use Bylaw, including for changes in use or occupying a space. Reviewing requirements early can help avoid delays or issues later in the process.
Please note that the Town of Slave Lake is not accredited or authorized to issue building permits. Building permits are administered by the appropriate safety code authority.
If you're unsure how the requirements apply to your situation, the Planning & Development Department can help clarify the next steps before you proceed.
