A filing appears in the week carrying its municipal application date. Where a municipality publishes no application date, its issue date is used and the substitution is stated here rather than hidden — those two fields mean different things, and mixing them silently would put a record in the wrong week.

Counts cover this platform’s in-scope corpus, which excludes single homes, secondary suites, home occupations, signs and routine relaxations. They are therefore much smaller than a raw count of any municipality’s full dataset, and are not comparable with one.

Questions about the week of February 23 – March 1, 2026

Answered from the municipal records dated within this week.

How many development applications were filed in the week of February 23 – March 1, 2026?
126 in-scope municipal development filings carry a date within February 23 – March 1, 2026 across Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa on DevelopmentApplications.ca. The count excludes single homes, secondary suites, home occupations, signs and routine relaxations, so it is much smaller than a municipality's full dataset count.
Was the week of February 23 – March 1, 2026 busier than usual?
126 filings against a trailing 8-week mean of 82.9, which puts the week above its own recent baseline (52%). This counts applications made to a municipality. It does not measure how much is being built, and one week is not a trend.
Where were the most filings in the week of February 23 – March 1, 2026?
RANGEVIEW recorded the most filings that week with 7 filings. This is a count of applications in one week, not a ranking of where development is happening — a single large site can file several permits at once.
What kind of applications were filed in the week of February 23 – March 1, 2026?
The most common filing type that week was the development permit, with 77 records. Each type is a separate municipal process: a development permit governs what may be built, a building permit authorises construction, and a rezoning changes what the land may be used for.
