How to look up a building permit in Red Deer
Red Deer publishes its permit records itself, on a JSON API open-data endpoint at data.reddeer.ca, in the dataset "building-permits". That feed is the source this page reads, so a record here can be checked against the city's own copy. Search by civic address first, then confirm the permit number and the issue date. Records the city has not yet published will not appear in either place.
Van Permit Audit holds 49,154 Red Deer permit records, current to 2026-09-28. See the full Red Deer lookup guide for the step by step.
