What is an ACP-5 form and when do I need one?

An ACP-5 is a U.S. municipal building department form used to amend a certificate of occupancy, a document type Saskatchewan does not issue in that form at all. What Saskatoon has instead is a building permit filed with the City of Saskatoon for any structural, electrical or plumbing change.

The real question underneath it, whether a past renovation was done to code and on file, is the right one to ask here too. A finished basement, an added bedroom or a secondary suite that was never permitted through the City of Saskatoon will not show up in the public record even though it exists in the house.

That gap is exactly what a home inspection, typically $400 to $600, tends to surface at the worst possible time, mid-transaction, rather than before the home is priced or listed.

Getting the permit history sorted out before you list avoids a surprise at inspection. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
