How many development applications were filed in the week of April 27 – May 3, 2026?

113 in-scope municipal development filings carry a date within April 27 – May 3, 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 27 – May 3, 2026 busier than usual?

113 filings against a trailing 13-week mean of 114.5, which puts the week in line with its own recent baseline (-1%). 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 27 – May 3, 2026?

DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CORE recorded the most filings that week with 5 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 27 – May 3, 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.

How this edition is built

Our analysisPublished with the edition so a reader never has to guess what a number covers.

Municipal application date, or issue date where none is published

Baseline window

13 trailing weeks

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.
