They depend on the construction value of the work. Each building or structure on a parcel needs its own application and fee (Building Bylaw s. 601.2).\n\nSchedule 10 prints $60 for \"the first $2,000\" of value and then $13 for each $1,000 or part \"over $1,000\". Those two tiers overlap as printed, so the City's own total for your project may differ from what you work out. Confirm with City Hall before you budget.\n\nThe refundable file closing fee runs from $100 to $500 by value, and is refunded if the final inspection is approved within 24 months of issue.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Ask City Hall (250-838-7230) for the fee on your project value.\n2. Pay the non-refundable application fee with your application.\n3. When the City tells you the permit can be issued, pay the permit fee, file closing fee and deposit.\n4. Book inspections. A special or re-inspection costs $109.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- If work starts without a permit and a stop-work order is issued, the penalty is double the permit fee, up to $1,500 for work under $1,000,000 (Building Bylaw s. 303.3).\n- The bylaws we read do not say whether the application fee is credited against the permit fee, or which payment methods the City accepts.\n- Other Schedule 10 items include sign permits, a provisional occupancy permit with re-inspection ($109) and removal of a notice on title ($850).\n- The City's Building Bylaw can reduce the permit fee where professional certification is used (s. 802.3 and 802.4); ask the City if that applies.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/1479-Fees-and-Charges-Bylaw-No.-1479-2010-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1479, 2010 (consolidated) (PDF), City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/1582-Building-Bylaw-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Building Bylaw No. 1582, 2015 (consolidated) (PDF), City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Building-Permit-Application-Package.pdf","title":"Building Permit Application package (PDF), City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-05","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 6 of 6 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/enderby/building-permit-fees/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/enderby/building-permit-fees.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/enderby/building-permit-fees.json"}}
