How many development applications were filed in the week of August 17–23, 2026?

96 in-scope municipal development filings carry a date within August 17–23, 2026 across Calgary, Edmonton 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 August 17–23, 2026 busier than usual?

96 filings against a trailing 13-week mean of 103.4, which puts the week below its own recent baseline (-7%). 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 August 17–23, 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 August 17–23, 2026?

The most common filing type that week was the development permit, with 63 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.

Period

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.
