How it works

Fees are in Schedule C of the District's Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1434. 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.

Work valued at $1.00 to $1,000 has a $200 fee, plus the separate application fee.

Steps

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The District phones you with the fees when the permit is ready. Pay the Building Inspector before the permit is issued.
