The Town of Carstairs is dedicated to ensuring that growth within the community conforms to the Carstairs Land Use Bylaw. Any development projects require prior application and approval.
Development permits are available through the Town Office. Building Permits are required prior to construction. Please remember a development permit is required for projects such as decks, basement development, additions and many home and property renovations.
