Worth knowing about High River
- High River had 14,324 residents in the 2021 census, up 5.4% from 2016. Source
- Foothills County surrounds the town. Land outside the town limits is County land, and the County is the permit authority there. Source
- General safety codes questions go to permits@highriver.ca on the Town’s Safety Codes Inquiry Form. Source
- If an application is missing something, the Safety Codes team asks for it by email through CityWide. Once the permit is issued, other documents go to the Letters section of the portal account rather than by email. Source
- Building inspections run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so on a renovation the building and electrical inspections land on different days. Source
