How many development applications were filed in the week of April 13–19, 2026?

138 in-scope municipal development filings carry a date within April 13–19, 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 April 13–19, 2026 busier than usual?

138 filings against a trailing 13-week mean of 113, which puts the week above its own recent baseline (22%). 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 April 13–19, 2026?

BELTLINE recorded the most filings that week with 4 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 April 13–19, 2026?

The most common filing type that week was the development permit, with 100 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.

Weeks observed

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.
