In October 2016, four municipalities—the District of Lakeland No. 521, the RM of Paddockwood No. 520, the Village of Christopher Lake, and the Village of Paddockwood—participated in forming a bylaw to cover all four areas with the same business licence, reducing confusion regarding municipal boundaries and the need to hold separate licences for each municipality.
Approximate area covered:
The IMBL application fee shall be $350.00 per year.
If you have already obtained a business licence with the District of Lakeland, please contact our office at 306-982-2874 or by email at permits@lakeland521.ca. You are able to get the cost of your current business licence applied to the IMBL.

Contractors, please also view our Development Information page. A development or building permit may be necessary before you start work. Consult the homeowner or our development officer to ensure that the proper permit has been obtained. You can be given permission to get a permit on the owner’s behalf in the District of Lakeland if they fill out a ratepayer authorization form. Working on a project that doesn’t have the proper permits may result in your business licence being revoked.
