The Village's bylaw is Building Regulations Bylaw No. 781 and its amendments, which could not be read for this answer. The TNRD guide also lists new homes, accessory buildings, additions, interior work such as partitions, sundecks, porches or roofs, retaining walls over 1.2 m (4 ft) high, moving a building and change of use.\n\nSmall accessory buildings: the 2021 TNRD guide says an accessory building under 10 m² (107 sq ft) in a municipality needs no permit when there is a primary building on the parcel, but the current TNRD page lists sheds over 20 m² (215 sq ft). Setbacks and zoning still apply.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Phone the Village Office or the TNRD to confirm what your project needs.\n2. Fill in the application form on the Village's Building and Inspection Services page. The registered owner or an agent applies, and only complete applications are accepted.\n3. Send the form and the checklist documents to the TNRD.\n4. When the application is reviewed and the fee calculated, you are called to pick up and pay for the permit.\n5. Book inspections through TNRD Building Inspection Services with at least 24 hours' notice, quoting the permit number. The 2021 guide gave 250-377-7076 for inspections. An inspection is required before occupancy.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The TNRD title and covenant requirement applies to permits the TNRD handles.\n- The 2021 guide lists a Cache Creek satellite office at 1389 Quartz Road on Tuesdays, 1 to 2 p.m., subject to change.

Look up your zone.\n2. Check the table above for your zone's front and side or rear limit.\n3. Check the corner rule below if your lot is on a corner.\n4. Ask the Village Office whether you need any permit before you build.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Corner lots, in any zone: within the triangle formed by the street or lane corner and points 6.0 m (20 ft) along each parcel line, no fence, wall or structure other than a permitted building may exceed 1.0 m (3 ft 3 in), and no growth may block vision.\n- Zones AR1, AR2, UR and T1 are not in the table. Ask the Village.\n- No fence permit requirement was found in the Zoning Bylaw or on the Village's pages. The TNRD, which handles Cache Creek building permits, lists a retaining wall more than 1.2 m (4 ft) high as needing a building permit.\n- The Zoning Bylaw text read does not set fence materials rules.","sources":[{"url":"https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/bf7007c2-9476-4485-8364-d7ab1d6e599d/downloads/fc5f5ce6-8955-441e-bbc7-e90162855ec5/Zoning%20Bylaw%20Adopted.pdf?ver=1793894507892","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 6-010, 2026 (PDF), Village of Cache Creek","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.tnrd.ca/planning-development/building-permits/","title":"Building Permits, Thompson-Nicola Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://cachecreek.ca/","title":"Contact Us, Village of Cache Creek","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 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/cache-creek/fence-rules/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/cache-creek/fence-rules.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/cache-creek/fence-rules.json"}},{"title":"Cache Creek permits for decks, sheds, carports and garages","question":"Do I need a permit for a deck, shed, carport, or garage in Cache Creek?","slug":"deck-shed-garage-permit","place":{"path":"ca/bc/cache-creek","name":"Cache Creek","region":{"code":"bc","name":"British Columbia"},"country":{"code":"ca","name":"Canada"}},"category":{"slug":"building-and-renovating","name":"Building, renovating and your property"},"owner":"shared","owner_label":"More than one level of government","owner_body":null,"short_answer":"In Cache Creek a sundeck, porch or roof needs a building permit.
