Edmonton tops list of favourable municipal environments for home building
The report highlights factors that help or hinder the process of approving and constructing new housing, as well as the cost of municipal policies and taxes that impact homebuyers.
“This report is intended to support the important conversation with all levels of government, but particularly with municipal governments, on the efficient delivery of much needed new housing supply, including the impact that inefficiencies and taxes have on housing affordability, which is already a major challenge across the country,” said CHBA CEO Kevin Lee.
“We’ve undertaken this work to showcase where municipal governments have the policies and systems in place to support supply and affordability, and to provide a path forward for improvements where things aren’t working as well.”BILD Alberta, a not-for-profit industry organization that represents developers, builders, renovators, trades, consultants, manufacturers, service professionals and suppliers, also responded to the ranking.
