Certificate of Compliance

A Certificate of Compliance is written confirmation from the City that development on a property meets the regulations of the Land use bylaw. Lawyers and lending institutions need compliance certificates to protect their clients’ investments. Standard real estate purchase contracts often require the vendor to obtain a stamp of compliance.  

• Compliance certificates are provided as a service through your request, as it is not mandatory to have one all the time.
• They are issued by a stamp on the property survey or a letter, depending on the type of request. 
• The accuracy of the certificate depends on the quality and detail of your real property report. Using a current Real Property Report that shows all buildings, structures, hard surfacing (like driveways and patios) and fences on your property will help you get a more accurate compliance certificate.

You can now apply for a Certificate of Compliance through myAIRDRIE. To avoid delays in your real estate transaction, apply as soon as you’ve decided to sell your property.

The City will review your RPR to ensure it meets the regulations of the Land Use Bylaw. Once the review is complete, you can download the stamped RPR directly from your myAIRDRIE account. The City does not stamp paper copies. All compliance stamps are issued digitally and emailed or made available for download.
