MOOSE JAW — Just as last year, July was a slow month for building permits in Moose Jaw.
Only $494,000 worth of permits were issued by City Hall last month, a mere $6,000 more than in 2023.
Largest permit was $175,000 for an addition to a King Crescent house. Five garage permits were issued.
No new houses were started in July compared with one home worth $258,000 in 2023.
Housing accounted for about half this year’s building permits with 14 single-family homes and 42 units worth $9.75 million.
Last year by the end of July four single-family units had been started.
Permit values for the year to date of $18.42 million are about $4.9 million more than last year.
