A Moving Permit is required when relocating a building or structure from one property to another — whether it’s within Nipawin, to Nipawin, or out of Nipawin. This includes homes, garages, sheds, modular units, and other large structures — even if they’re temporary or mobile.
A Moving Permit is also required for sea containers that are intended to be used as a building.
The permit ensures that the move is conducted safely, meets zoning requirements, and complies with local road usage rules and site regulations.
You must apply for a Moving Permit before:
Relocating any residential or commercial building
Moving a mobile or modular home
Bringing in or removing a large accessory building (like a detached garage or workshop)
Using a sea container as a building (whether it’s new or already in use)
