Subdivision & Development Appeal Board

The Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) is a quasi-judicial board made up of six citizen representatives and one Council representative.

The SDAB handles appeals to the decisions of the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) or approving authority regarding development permit or subdivision applications.

Term

Members are appointed annually by Council at the organizational meeting in October.

Hearings
Hearings are held on an as required basis and must be held within 30 days of the receipt of an appeal. Hearings are usually one to two hours in length.

How to file an appeal

Complete a 'Notice of Appeal' form.

Submit your form and pay the associated appeal fee prior to the appeal deadline (published in the newspaper and here on the City's website).

You may submit your appeal form electronically to Appeals@airdrie.ca. However, you must also make the required payment for your appeal by the filing deadline. Please contact Legislative Services at 403-948-8800 (Ext 8816) to provide your credit card payment information by telephone. You may instead pay the appeal fee in person at City Hall.
