Community rebuild progress information in the Municipality of Jasper (Updated October 20, 2025)
This page provides information about the progress of Jasper’s recovery after the 2024 Jasper Wildfire. Detailed information on overall numbers for both fire impacted and non-fire impacted projects for all of Jasper National Park (within the Municipality of Jasper and outside the townsite) is available on Parks Canada’s Development Office Statistics website.
Site Preparation Status
*The initial rapid assessment identified 358 destroyed structures immediately following the 2024 Jasper wildfire. Further assessment showed that remediation was required at 375 properties. Overall figures were updated on October 20, 2025, to reflect current recovery progress.
The total number of properties in the site preparation graphs are different from the rebuild graphs because one property required cleanup but did not lose a structure, so it does not need to be rebuilt.
Rebuild Status of Destroyed Properties
The following presents the status of properties destroyed in the 2024 Jasper wildfire as they move through the phases of rebuilding. Each property appears on the graphic only once. Projects in later phases have also met milestones in earlier stages (for example, a project under construction or at the occupancy stage also has an approved building permit). We recognise that timelines for rebuilding will vary for individuals based on a variety of factors.
The Jasper Recovery Coordination Centre, a partnership between Parks Canada and the Municipality of Jasper continues to work on identifying and making available supports for each stage of recovery.
*The initial rapid assessment identified 358 destroyed structures immediately following the 2024 Jasper wildfire. Based on further assessment it is anticipated that rebuilding is required at 374 properties. Estimated rebuild numbers were updated on October 20, 2025.
More information on each rebuild phase is provided below. More supports will be added as they are identified and available.
🟣 Phases 1 & 2: Prepare & Design (properties with no permit applications)
Properties that have yet to apply for a rebuild permit. Leaseholders may be:
- Working through insurance claims and settlement processes.
- Navigating personal decisions and considering options.
- Thinking through building design plans.
- Selling their property.
🔴 Phase 3A: Application Process (properties in the rebuild application process)
Properties in the rebuilding application process with Parks Canada. This includes approval from Parks of:
- Development permits.
- Building permits.
🟠 Phase 3B: Building Permit Approved (properties ready for construction)
Properties with building permits from Parks Canada. Contractors are preparing for construction behind the scenes and mobilizing equipment and materials on the ground.
🟡 Phase 4: Build (properties where construction is underway)
Properties currently building. Construction starts are counted once concrete pours, or equivalent for buildings where there is no concrete foundation.
An additional 25 properties have visible signs of construction work starting which are included in Phase 3B overall numbers.
🟢 Phase 5: Occupancy (properties with finished buildings)
Properties with buildings that have received Occupancy Permits from Parks Canada and are ready for Jasperites to call home and run their businesses.
