Building permit value fluctuations in 2023 not of huge concern
Just staring at the numbers, one may think 2023 was a problem year for building permit values in Red Deer.
For instance, the total value of this year’s 967 permits — through November — is just over $86 million.
Through November 2022, there were 854 permits worth just shy of $150 million.
Take public service buildings in those same two time spans, and there was $8.4 million worth in 2023 compared to $52.6 million in 2022.
