A permit is not required:
- for a tent less than 24m2 (258 ft2)
- where no alcohol served
Note: The National Building Code requirements apply to all temporary tents greater than 10m2 (107ft2), even if a permit is not required by the City of Regina.
To Apply
It is best to apply as early as possible.
- Complete the Tent & Temporary Structure Development Application Package and the Building Permit Application. Incomplete submissions will not be accepted.
- Submit your application by email to permits@regina.ca. The City will review your application for compliance with the National Building Code and National Fire Code.
