The permit fee is based on the estimated value of construction: $200 plus $10 per $1,000 of value up to $200,000. Over $200,000, add $6 per $1,000 of the excess. For houses, garages and similar buildings, the Building Inspector sets the value using RS Means square-foot costs.\n\nWork valued at $1.00 to $1,000 has a $200 fee, plus the separate application fee.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Pay the $200 non-refundable application fee when you apply. It applies to all permits except where the permit fee is less than $200. The permit fee is charged in addition.\n2. For anything other than a single-family dwelling or its accessory building, a plan processing fee of 50% of the estimated permit fee, up to $2,000, accompanies the application.\n3. The District phones you with the fees when the permit is ready. Pay the Building Inspector before the permit is issued.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Other fees: plumbing permit $200 (includes 1 fixture), then $10 per extra fixture; residential demolition $150; chimney or new solid fuel appliance $150; re-plan checking $500.\n- Restoration and clean-up security is $500 for residential and $2,500 for commercial work. The Building Permits page says clean-up bonds are refundable upon final inspection.\n- Starting work without a permit (stop-work order posted) doubles the fee, with the extra capped at $750.\n- A plan processing fee is forfeited if the permit is not secured and fully paid within 30 days of notification.\n- The Building Permits page also lists a $50 minimum plan processing fee that is not in the bylaw. The bylaw is followed here; confirm with the District.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-04/Bylaw%201434%20Fees%20%20Charges%20Consolidated.pdf","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434, 2024, Schedule C (PDF), District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/bylaw%20695%20consolidated%20Building%20Bylaw_updated%20May%2016%202023.pdf","title":"Building Bylaw No. 695, 1996 consolidation (PDF), District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/business-development/building-permits","title":"Building Permits, District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 6 of 6 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/building-permit-fees.json"}}
