Development and Land Sales in the District 

LAND SALES:
Some lots in District communities may be available for sale. Please contact Northern Municipal Services for more information or submit an application:
  • Application form for lots in the District, except the Northern Settlement of Bear Creek.
  • Application form for the Northern Settlement of Bear Creek only.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN & ZONING BYLAW:
Unless you're proposing development within the Lac La Ronge Planning Area, there are no municipal bylaws which regulate development in the District.  

BEST PRACTICES:
​Although there is no Zoning or Building Bylaw outside of the Lac La Ronge Planning Area, our office recommends construction adhere to the National Building Code of Canada and the following guidelines:
 
Principal Building Setbacks:
Front Yard: 6 metres (19.6 feet)
Side Yard: 2 metres (6.5 feet)
Rear Yard: 4.5 metres (14.7 feet)
 
Accessory Building Setbacks:
Front Yard: 6 metres (19.6 feet)
Side Yard: 1.5 metres (4.9 feet)
Rear Yard: 1 metre (3.3 feet)​

We also ask that you implement as many Fire Safe Principles as possible when designing and building your home. You can access the full FireSmart resources on the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency's website found here.
​

Do you have a corner lot?  Drivers should have an unobstructed view around the corner.  6.1m/20ft from each corner is the recommended sight triangle dimension.

BUILDING STANDARDS AND LICENSING:
While the District does not have a Building Bylaw or employ a Building Inspector, nor do we have a Zoning Bylaw for the District, all property owners are responsible for complying with building, safety, accessibility and energy standards. 

Additional information on Codes and Standards can be found here.

ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING PERMIT AND INSPECTIONS:
Plumbing and electrical permitting and inspections are under the authority of the Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan. More information can be found on their website:
https://www.tsask.ca/

SEWAGE HOLDING TANKS:
If you are replacing or putting in a new sewage holding tank, water systems and plumbing, you will have to contact your local Public Health Inspector for regulation and inspection.

SPECIAL EVENTS:
  • A special event is a gathering that lasts for a limited time period, and includes a private family occasion such as a wedding, or an organized public event such as a community gathering, festival or celebration. 
  • Special events are not regulated by and do not require a permit from Northern Municipal Services.
  • ​It is the responsibility of the event organizer to ensure all applicable healthy and safety regulations, bylaws, and licensing requirements are met.
  • Concerns from the public should be directed to the event organizer.  

DEFINTIONS:
Development means the carrying out of any building, engineering, mining or other operations in, on or over land or the making of any material change in the use or intensity of the use of any building or land.

Subdivision means a division of land that will result in the creation of a surface parcel, or the rearrangement of the boundaries or limits of a surface parcel, as surface parcel is defined in The Land Titles Act, 2000.
