## How it works

Cache Creek contracts building services to the TNRD, and the TNRD page points to its own bylaw for permit fees. The schedule is in TNRD Building Regulations Bylaw No. 2066, Appendix A, as amended by [Bylaw No. 2917](https://wpcdn.tnrd.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/06092106/Amendment-Bylaw-2917.pdf), effective April 1, 2026. The Village's own Building Regulations Bylaw No. 781 fee schedule could not be read, so Cache Creek's fees may differ.

## Steps

1. Pay the $200 non-refundable application fee, charged on all permits.
2. The permit fee is $10 for each $1,000 of construction value up to $1,000,000, then $6 for each additional $1,000 or part.
3. Once your application is reviewed and the fee is calculated, you are called to pick up and pay for the permit.

## Good to know

- Other TNRD fees: re-inspection $100 each; provisional occupancy certificate $500; special or voluntary inspection $200; manufactured or relocated buildings $500 plus a value-based fee, at least $200 per inspection; land title search at cost.
- The text does not say whether the $200 application fee counts toward the permit fee. Ask the TNRD.
- Call the TNRD at 250-377-8673 to confirm the fee for your project.
