While business permits are not required, if you have a permanent place of business in the Town of Whitecourt, any change in intensification or use within the Town requires a development permit. For instance, if you wish to start a business in your home, add a modular piece onto your home, or even have a home office, a development permit is required. Generally, a non-construction development permit costs twenty dollars and is available at the Town Office.
