How it works
The TNRD issues Chase's building permits under the Village's Building Regulations Bylaw No. 803-2014. On its building permits page, the TNRD says these jobs need a permit:
- Constructing a new accessory building such as a garage, well shed or storage shed greater than 20 m² (215 ft²).
- Constructing a sundeck.
- Enclosing a porch or roofing over a sundeck.
Steps
- Call the TNRD Building Inspector (250-377-8673) with the size and type of your project.
- If a permit is needed, apply as described in the building-permit answer.
- Ask the Village Office (250-679-3238) about zoning limits for your lot.
Good to know
- The TNRD page states no deck height threshold, and does not mention carports or smaller garages. Ask before you build.
- Zoning rules (height, setbacks, lot coverage) in the Zoning Bylaw No. 683-2006 may apply even when no permit is needed. The Village's website does not state them.
