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:

  3. 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.
