Submitting an Appeal to the Development Appeal Board

Should you choose to submit an appeal, please complete the Notice of Development Appeal Form, which can be obtained from our website, www.FoothillsCountyAB.ca or emailed/faxed out upon request. Alternatively, you can submit a letter outlining your appeal, which must contain the following information:
- the Development Permit File Number (i.e. 20D 000) that you are appealing;
- detailed reasons for appealing; and
- your full name (printed and signature), legal description, mailing address, and phone number
Appeals must be received by the SDAB Clerk by the deadline and must be accompanied by a $100.00 appeal fee. The appeal fee will be refunded following the hearing if there is record that the appellant or someone authorized to act on behalf of the appellant was in attendance at the scheduled appeal hearing.
