Building permit numbers for September were up, but permit values were way down, based on the report for the month for North Battleford.
Building Inspector Jerry Wintonyk submitted the building permit report at the City's municipal services meeting Monday.
For the month, the city issued 19 permits for a value of $1,253,000, compared to 12 issued for $12,639,000 in 2012.
The main reason for the big drop had to do with the fact that in September 2012 a new condo permit had been issued for $13,500,000. That category recorded a "nil" last month.
Overall for the month, there was one new dwelling permit for $399,000 (compared to two for $563.500 a year earlier), five garage/carports for $99,000, six residential alterations for $105,500, one commercial alteration for $5,000, two new industrial permits for $561,000, one sign for $15,000 and three removal/demolitions for $68,500.
For the year through September, 96 permits have been issued for $12,007,400 compared to the 2012 number of 105 permits issued for $41,248,900.
