Once you have completed the requested updates to the project, select the “submit” button on the bottom right of the page.
A revision can be prompted by two actions. It can either be initiated by the applicant or by the safety codes officer post approval. Revisions can be initiated by the applicant at any point in the permit review process by selecting “pull for revision” while in the project. If a revision is requested after approval, an additional plans review fee will be required, as well as any details changes that require additional fees. A safety codes officer can push for a revision post approval and request additional information. You will not be charged the additional plans review fee in this circumstance.
Two things can be updated on a project without having to pull for a revision. They are:

Resubmit is a process where additional information or revisions to the drawings/details tab are required before approval. Push for revision is a post approval revision and is requested by the safety codes officer. No additional plans review fees are required. It is used when an application is changing the use description (contextual to discretionary), which allows the applicant to submit any additional fees or the calculation of a refund. This is not the same process used for the collection of fees for “prior to release” conditions (like driveway securities, off-site levy, etc).
A partial permit is automatically issued on single construction permits in developing areas. It can be found under the "files" tab as a permit document. When submitting a single construction permit in the developed area, it will take one business day before the partial permit is issued. If you cannot find the partial permit in the files tab, please contact cas_epermit@calgary.ca.
The statuses that indicate the permit has been submitted to The City are ”pre-screen” and “project review.” The statuses of “revision” and “re-submission” mean that the permit is under the applicant’s control and requires an update before resubmitting to The City.
After uploading all the documents and required information for one permit, you are given the option to add more permits to the cart by clicking the “add another permit” button. This will allow you to pay for multiple projects at once.
Timelines are the same as paper applications. For a single construction permit, they are 21 calendar days or less. For residential improvement projects, they are seven calendar days or less. Simple projects like decks, garages, basements or hot tubs may be processed in one day.
Projects are completed in the order of submission and are assigned only once they hit the front of the queue. If it has been over 21 days and you have not been assigned a safety codes officer, contact the Planning Services Centre at 403-268-5311.
This can be requested when you put in the wrong address on a permit or when there has been an address change. To update the address, call our Planning Services Centre at 403-268-5311 or email cas_epermit@calgary.ca.
