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, 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.
