# Daajing Giids permits for decks, sheds, carports and garages

**Question:** Do I need a permit for a deck, shed, carport, or garage?

**Short answer:** Daajing Giids has no building permit bylaw posted, so no size limit for decks, sheds or garages could be found. Its Siting and Use Permits Bylaw requires a permit before construction or renovation. Accessory buildings are limited to 6 m high in the LR, RR, MFR and RO zones.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (Village of Daajing Giids, https://daajinggiids.ca)  
**Cost:** A Siting and Use Permit application is $100, or $200 after works have started. No separate building permit fee was found.  
**How long:** Not stated on the pages we read.

## How it works

The Village has no building permit bylaw posted, so we could not find a size or height at which a deck, shed, carport or garage needs a building permit. The [Siting and Use Permits Bylaw No. 102-2017](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/48083/) requires a Siting and Use Permit before land clearing or preparation, construction or renovation. Its thresholds are in scanned text we could not read, so ask the Village whether your project is covered.

Whatever permit applies, the [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) limits accessory buildings:

- Height: at most 6 m (19.7 ft) in the LR, RR, MFR and RO zones.
- In the LR zone: at least 1.2 m from the side line, 3.6 m from the front line, 3 m from the principal building, and 1.2 m from the rear line (0.3 m if the rear line abuts a public lane).
- Lot coverage: at most 50% in LR and 20% in RR.

## Steps

1. Find your zone (see the zoning-lookup answer) and check the limits above.
2. Call the Village office (250-559-4765) to ask whether your deck, shed, carport or garage needs a Siting and Use Permit.
3. Apply before you start; the fee doubles for works already begun.

## Good to know

- The Village's consolidation lists amendments only to Bylaw 152-2022. Amendment 139-2021 changed accessory building height, so confirm the current text with the office.
- The Village's posted consolidation of the zoning bylaw lists amendments only to Bylaw 152-2022 (August 15, 2022), and the bylaw still uses the former name, Village of Queen Charlotte.
