Sample Regina Property History Report

What Makes a Regina Report Different

The City of Regina publishes its building permits as weekly open data files, from January 2020, with the date issued, the application type, the work class, the building use and the cost of construction. Permits are shown as issued: the City's files carry no status, so the report does not say whether work is open or complete. A contractor is shown only where the City recorded one, as a company name. The City does not license assessment data, so assessed value and year built are not shown. Zoning is drawn from Zoning Bylaw 2019-19, and the report gives the distance to the nearest fire station and in-service hydrant and checks the property against the Floodway and Floodway Fringe overlays in force. The install years of the nearest water and sewer mains are shown, with assumed years labelled as assumed.

Permit History in the Regina Example

The permit section lists every permit the City of Regina publishes against the address. The Regina example carries 3: Basement Development — Alteration and improvements (2025), Foundation Repair — Alteration and improvements (2022), and Deck — Garage/Carport/Accessory Structure (2020).

The City of Regina publishes permit issuance only, so every permit is labelled Issued and the report states directly that inspection and completion status is not published by the City.

Permit records come from City of Regina Open Data (Building Permit Report), dataset openregina.ca building-permit-report (yearly XLSX, 2020-2026).

Renovation-heavy pockets like Harbour Landing and Greens on Gardiner tend to produce the longest permit trails in Regina, while buyers looking at Cathedral, Lakeview, Harbour Landing, and Whitmore Park are usually reading the record for work done before they arrived.

Zoning and Land Use in Regina

The Regina example is zoned RN.

Zoning in a Regina report is read against the City of Regina Zoning Bylaw 2019-19, with a plain-language note on what the designation permits: single-detached use, secondary suite eligibility, duplex or multi-unit conversion, or mixed use. The report gives the designation and what the bylaw allows; it is not a zoning confirmation letter.

Flood Hazard Context in Regina

Regina sits on a flat clay plain where Wascana Creek runs through the city, with Chuka Creek, Pilot Butte Creek and the North and South Storm Channels among its other corridors. The City of Regina maps the Floodway (FW) and Floodway Fringe (FF) overlays in its Zoning Bylaw 2019-19 along those corridors only, so most properties fall outside them.

A Regina report sources this from City of Regina Floodway and Floodway Fringe overlays (Zoning Bylaw 2019-19) and reports the mapped classification for the address: it does not predict flooding, confirm insurability, or price a premium. To verify floodplain boundaries for this property, consult the Floodway (FW) and Floodway Fringe (FF) overlays of the City of Regina Zoning Bylaw 2019-19 and the City of Regina. The Water Security Agency's updated flood mapping is not yet in force.

Fire Protection Proximity in Regina

The Regina example sits 1.4 km from Fire Station Number 3 and the nearest hydrant is 62 m away. Distances are computed from City of Regina Open Data (fire stations and hydrants).

Regina publishes both fire station and hydrant locations, so both distances appear in the insurance context section. They are physical distances from a geospatial dataset, not response time commitments and not insurance eligibility determinations.

Radon Potential for Regina

Regina falls in the Prairies and Northwest Territories region of the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey. 1 in 5 residential properties in this region tested at or above 200 Bq/m³, the Health Canada action guideline.

This is regional prevalence, not a measurement of the property. Only a long-term test on the specific home establishes its radon level.

What Turns Up in Regina Records

• The City of Regina publishes every building permit it issues as open data, with the date issued, the type of work, the building use and the cost of construction. The record Property Proof holds begins in January 2020.
• Regina's permit files carry no open, closed or completed status, so the report shows when each permit was issued and says nothing about whether the work was finished.
• Cost of construction is shown as the City publishes it. A contractor is named only where the City tagged one, and only the company is shown.
• Zoning comes from the City's parcel layer and its zoning-code table, under Zoning Bylaw 2019-19.
• The report checks the property against the Floodway (FW) and Floodway Fringe (FF) overlays in force under the Zoning Bylaw. They cover the floodplain corridors only, so a property outside them is not shown as safe from flooding, and the Water Security Agency's updated mapping is not yet in force.
• The report gives the distance to the nearest fire station and to the nearest in-service City hydrant. Regina publishes no fire response zones and no hydrant flow or pressure.

Regina Coverage

The same report is available for any residential address in Regina, including Cathedral, Heritage, Lakeview, Albert Park, Whitmore Park, Harbour Landing, Greens on Gardiner, The Creeks, Eastview, Normanview, Glencairn, and Coronation Park.

Regina Sample Report FAQ

What does the sample Regina report show?

It renders the full report layout against a fabricated Regina address: a single detached dwelling with 3 permits on file. A Regina report covers permit history, zoning, flood hazard context, fire protection proximity, and radon potential. The address and the figures in the example are invented; the sources, the sections, and the coverage limits are the real ones.

Where does the Regina permit data come from?

City of Regina Open Data (Building Permit Report), dataset openregina.ca building-permit-report (yearly XLSX, 2020-2026). The City of Regina publishes permit issuance only, so every permit is labelled Issued and the report states directly that inspection and completion status is not published by the City.

Which zoning bylaw does a Regina report use?

Zoning is reported against the City of Regina Zoning Bylaw 2019-19. The example property is zoned RN. The report gives the designation and a plain-language note on what it permits; it is not a zoning confirmation letter.

Is flood hazard data included for Regina properties?

Yes, sourced from City of Regina Floodway and Floodway Fringe overlays (Zoning Bylaw 2019-19). Regina sits on a flat clay plain where Wascana Creek runs through the city, with Chuka Creek, Pilot Butte Creek and the North and South Storm Channels among its other corridors. The City of Regina maps the Floodway (FW) and Floodway Fringe (FF) overlays in its Zoning Bylaw 2019-19 along those corridors only, so most properties fall outside them.

Does a Regina report include an assessed value?

No. A Regina report does not include a municipal assessed value. Sale prices are never included in any market.
