On its building permits page, the TNRD says these jobs need a permit:\n\n- Constructing a new accessory building such as a garage, well shed or storage shed greater than 20 m² (215 ft²).\n- Constructing a sundeck.\n- Enclosing a porch or roofing over a sundeck.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Call the TNRD Building Inspector (250-377-8673) with the size and type of your project.\n2. If a permit is needed, apply as described in the building-permit answer.\n3. Ask the Village Office (250-679-3238) about zoning limits for your lot.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The TNRD page states no deck height threshold, and does not mention carports or smaller garages. Ask before you build.\n- Zoning rules (height, setbacks, lot coverage) in the [Zoning Bylaw No. 683-2006](https://chasebc.ca/bylaws) may apply even when no permit is needed. The Village's website does not state them.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.tnrd.ca/planning-development/building-permits/","title":"Building Permits, Thompson-Nicola Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://chasebc.ca/building-%26-inspection","title":"Building and Inspection, Village of Chase","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://chasebc.ca/bylaws","title":"Bylaws, Village of Chase","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 4 of 5 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/chase/deck-shed-garage-permit/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/chase/deck-shed-garage-permit.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/chase/deck-shed-garage-permit.json"}}
