Municipal Historic Resources
Designating important developments
A property owner in the City of St. Albert can apply to have their property designated as a Municipal Historic Resource and listed on the City of St. Albert’s Heritage Register. Historic resources are eligible for designation if they are included in St. Albert’s Heritage Inventory and have a Statement of Significance, which is the official document required at the local, provincial, and national level for inclusion on a Heritage Register.
Municipal Historic Resources are legally protected and help to ensure a resource’s long-term preservation. The designation is passed through bylaw by City Council and registered against the property’s title in the Land Titles Registry, in accordance with the Historical Resources Act. Designated properties may not be altered in any way without first obtaining written permission from the City.

The demolition of a Municipal Historic Resource is not permitted without the Designation Bylaw being rescinded by Council
