If you are hosting a public or private event in Lacombe County, you may require a special events development approval from the County. This applies to both indoor and outdoor events that are not part of the existing use of the property. Typical events include but are not limited to festivals, trade shows, exhibitions, or recreational competitions. This does not apply to non-commercial personal events held by the property owners and residents such as weddings, family gatherings, birthday parties, etc.
The County may at its discretion permit certain small scale non-commercial or community events to take place without the requirement to obtain a development permit. To find out if your event requires a development permit, please contact Planning Services by email or phone at 403-782-8389.
