How it works

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) issues building permits for the Village of Harrison Hot Springs. Fees are in Appendix A of the FVRD Building Bylaw No. 1188, 2013 (schedule replaced by Bylaw 1788 in 2025).

• Minimum fee: $190, non-refundable, for any building permit application. Plumbing, chimney, fireplace, mobile home in a park and pool fence permits have their own fees and do not pay it.
• Plan review fee: $1.27 per $1,000 of construction value, minimum $50 and maximum $635 (half for projects using a registered professional). It is non-refundable once a site inspection is undertaken.
• Inspection fee: $150 plus 1.27% of the value (up to $1,000,000), less the plan review fee. Over $1,000,000 it is $12,700 plus 1.02% of the value above $1,000,000, less the plan review fee.
• Value of construction: the greater of the building official's value using RSMeans Data Online or the verified contract price.

Other fees

• Plumbing: $220 for up to ten fixtures, $8.90 for each extra fixture.
• Chimney for a solid-fuel or oil appliance: $140. Fireplace: $280.
• Demolition: $190. Pool fence: $125. Moving a building: $330, with a $1,000 refundable deposit.
• Recall fee when an inspector is called to site prematurely: $125.
• Fees double if work starts before the permit is issued.

Steps

1. Pay the application fee when you submit your forms and plans to the FVRD. The Village does not state payment methods; ask the FVRD.

Good to know

• The Village's older 2018 Building Permits Q&A says the minimum is $150. The bylaw schedule says $190, so confirm with the FVRD.
• The bylaw does not say whether the $190 counts toward the total.
