Non-Compliant RPR’S

The City of Calgary has Land Use Bylaws for each community within the city. These bylaws stipulate what you can and cannot build on each Lot. They also provide a guide as to where certain objects should be located on a property, as well as the specific size and height of objects like a deck or patio. Over the years we have surveyed thousands of Real Property Reports and have compiled a list of our top 6 reasons why RPR’s do not receive immediate compliance from the City of Calgary. Although most RPR’s pass through the compliance stage without any issues, there are always a few that don’t.
